DENVER, CO, July 6 (LSN.ca) - Some 70 homosexual activists blocked a Denver convention center Tuesday demanding that the Episcopalian Church accept homosexuality and ordain practicing homosexuals. The Washington Times reports that the 73rd Episcopal General Convention which began yesterday, is to decide on a proposal to codify the 2.4 million-member denomination's unofficial policy of letting each diocese decide the role of homosexuals in the church.

The day of the arrests, conservative Episcopalians began an ad campaign trying to reach out to homosexuals with a message of hope for change through prayer and God's grace. The American Anglican Council, a 4-year-old organization promoting an orthodox view of Episcopalianism, featured six people free from homosexuality. The campaign's theme is "God's Love Changed Me."
