The Episcopal Church in the United States has female and gay priests and, consequently, female priests and gay bishops. This is an outgrowth of the belief that they should be inclusive rather than exclusive.

The hot issue here right now are churches (5) which want to leave over the gay issue and become separated from the Episcopal Church. Separating is not a problem, but the assets of land, church, etc. is now in court to be settled as the churches are not owned by the parish, but by the Episcopal Church.
