A Thorn in the Flesh: Same-Sex Inclusion in the Episcopal Church

Caroline J. Addington Hall is an Episcopal priest in California. As Vice President for Inter-Anglican Affairs, and later President of Integrity, an organization that worked for the full inclusion of gay, lesbian, and transgender Episcopalians, she was in a unique position to understand the complexities of this effort. Addington Hall and her spouse were among the first gay couples married in 2008 when marriage became legal for same-sex couples in California.
