"A bishop in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America came out as gay during the denomination's recent youth conference in Detroit.
Bishop Kevin Kanouse, head of the Northern Texas-Northern Louisiana area of the ELCA, released a letter to church leaders explaining his announcement, saying he hoped his revelation would inspire hope in young people who may be struggling with their sexuality or with "other issues of self-esteem, rejection, and self-loathing."
“We are keeping Bishop Kanouse, his family and members of the ELCA Northern Texas-Northern Louisiana Synod in prayer," ELCA presiding bishop Elizabeth Eaton told The Huffington Post.
Kanouse said in his letter he had been living in denial for decades and had recently come out to his wife, to whom he plans to remain married."
