NPR: National Cathedral and Gay Marriage

[aurora]

I couldn't find the transcript so I think it's only audio right now, but on my drive today I heard this story on NPR:

In brief, the National Cathedral, which was described as a leader in the U.S. Episcopalian church, will now be performing marriages for same-sex couples. Yeah for equality!

I liked the Rev. Hall's discussion on how much gay and lesbian couples have taught him about heterosexual marriage, and specifically that many church practices are still somewhat archaic in terms of gender equality.
