Bishop John Chane of Washington, a prominent church liberal who officiates at the National Cathedral in the American capital, immediately announced he would not heed the call to block gay bishops.
"I will defy the resolution by consenting after prayer and careful consideration to any person duly elected by a diocese in this church," he said.
Good for Bishop Chane.
Earlier, at the morning eucharist at the convention in Columbus, Ohio, Dr Schori signalled her feminist credentials.
She said: "Mother Jesus gives birth to a new creation - and you and I are his children. If we're going to keep on growing into Christ-images for the world around us, we're going to have to give up fear."
I have a feeling Bishop Schori is about to make the Episcopal Church far more interesting to the general public, or at least to me, than it generally has been.
