- <p> ORDAINED. Elizabeth Carl, 44, a woman living in an openly
- lesbian relationship; as an Episcopal priest; in Washington.
- Though not the first ordination of an acknowledged homosexual
- as an Episcopal priest, the controversial action occurred only
- a month before the General Convention of the Episcopal Church
- is to reconsider a 1979 resolution opposing ordination of
- practicing homosexuals. When asked about Carl's ordination,
- President Bush, the nation's most famous Episcopalian, said,
- "Perhaps I'm a little old-fashioned, but I'm not quite ready for
- that."
