- Description:
- Bishop Robert Mary Clement ordains five priests for the Church of the Beloved Disciple during a liturgy in New York City on October 2, 1978. The ordinands—Fathers Mark, Paul, Victor, Gabriel, and Philip—were called to continue the church's ministry of serving LGBTQ Christians after having experienced rejection or exclusion from other Christian traditions. Their ordinations reflected the Church of the Beloved Disciple's commitment to cultivating an openly gay clergy and ensuring the continuity of its sacramental and pastoral mission.
