Updated on 6/11 to reflect GetReligion’s correction that Senyonjo is a former, not current, Anglican bishop.

The Anglican Communion’s objection to the ordination of openly gay bishops by America’s Episcopalian branch has made headlines again this week, as the Episcopal Church in the United States has now been suspended from participating in ecumenical dialogues.

Nevertheless, former Anglican Bishop Christopher Senyonjo and current New Hampshire’s Rt. Rev. Gene Robinson (the Episcopal Church’s first openly gay bishop) have been meeting with White House officials to share their grave concerns over the harsh anti-gay bill under consideration in Uganda.
