The site for the Diocese of New Hampshire has Gene Robinson reporting back re Lambeth 2008:

I read this response somewhere. Interesting:

Make of it what you will. My own feelings about him remain as mixed as ever…reverting once again to the “Thomas Merton analogy”. Merton was given the option of remaining in a problematic romantic relationship which would prove to be scandalous to the Church as a whole, or renouncing this relationship and remaining in Holy Orders. His abbot essentially told him: “You can live perfectly honorably as a married lay member of the Church, or else you can remain a celibate monk in Orders, but you simply cannot do both. You choice needs to be one or the other”. Merton chose his personal commitment to his vocation over his private romantic entanglement, and later said that he never regretted his decision. Merton demonstrated the spiritual strength to be “self-sacrificing for the greater good of the entire Church”. But I have just never been able to bring myself to say the same thing about Gene Robinson. His position seems to be: “I want it all, I’m going to take it all, [in spite of the] consequences for the rest of the Church”.
