(ChurchLeaders) The Reverend William H. Love of Albany, New York’s Episcopal Diocese has announced he will resign, effective February 1, 2021. Bishop Love famously banned same-sex marriages in Albany’s diocese in 2018, after the Episcopalian Church moved to allow the unions in their churches earlier that year. The Bishop was recently found to be in violation of canon law and his ordination vows by a hearing panel.
When Bishop Love leaves office in February, his edict banning same-sex marriages in the Albany Diocese will go with him.
