...Reverend Canon David Anderson: We consider Gene Robinson's election invalid, null and void. It is illegal, in that it violates the moral standards the church has established and uses for the evaluation of who can be a bishop or even a priest. And the time of basically giving a wink and a nod to some people is not acceptable. When those 62 bishops voted, at that moment there was a shattering of the Episcopal church as we know it. The structural disengagement of the church has begun. The question is what will it look like? What will...

Some TV shows get under your skin with lovable characters or subtle writing. Nip/Tuck (FX, Tuesdays, 10 p.m. E.T.) uses a scalpel and liposuction hose. Christian Troy (Julian McMahon) and Sean MacNamara (Dylan Walsh) are wealthy Miami plastic surgeons--the former a seductive bad boy, the latter moral but uptight--and this subtle-as-an-implant drama shies away from neither their work's ethical implications nor its grossness. (Don't fix a snack before watching them carve up a patient's face like a radish rosette.) FX aspires to be the poor...
