LOS ANGELES - The Episcopal Church has approved the election of a lesbian assistant bishop in the Diocese of Los Angeles, making her the second openly homosexual bishop in the global Anglican Communion.

Episcopal conservatives said the approval of the Rev. Mary Glasspool was "grieving the heart of God."

In a statement, Glasspool said she would try "to bridge those gaps, and strengthen the bonds of affection among all people, in the name of Jesus Christ." Glasspool was elected last year, but needed the full church's approval to be consecrated in May.

The Episcopal Church, which is the Anglican body in the United States, caused an uproar in 2003 by consecrating the first openly homosexual bishop, V. Gene Robinson of New Hampshire.

Breakaway Episcopal conservatives have formed a rival church, the Anglican Church in North America.

I would love to hear what Jesus says about this.
