doesn't change the fact that he committed adultery. David could do nothing to change his adultery but found forgiveness when he repented. The new bishop hasn't repented, he took another lover and asked the church to look beyond his sin.. This is why I don't believe that he should be a bishop. A bishop's first responsibility is to God's word and then to his flock. The Bible covers adultery and homosexuality separately. When we excuse adultery because of homosexuality I fear we are taking liberties with His Word.
