Karen Oliveto, the first openly LGBTQ person to be elected a bishop in The

opponents seeking to have her removed and some even threatening violence
against her. The denomination has been debating the inclusion of LGBTQ
people for decades and will be gathering in February 2019 to determine
whether it can agree to let conferences within the church ordain as they see fit

can remain in communion with one another. Woven together with her own
