While it is true that some have left because of Bishop Robinson Bishop Robinson may refer to:

Bishop Gene Robinson, a bishop of the Episcopal Church in the United States of America
Bishop L. Robinson (police commissioner), a former police commissioner of Baltimore, Maryland

, it is equally true that many have come to our church directly because of him. The Episcopal Church has witnessed through Robinson that ours is a church open to all. Unfortunately, it is those opposed to this inclusivity who make the most noise. For the rest of us (abuse) for The Rest Of Us - (From the Macintosh slogan "The computer for the rest of us") 1. Used to describe a spiffy product whose affordability shames other comparable products, or (more often) used sarcastically to describe spiffy but very overpriced products.

2. , we will continue to welcome everyone who comes to the Episcopal Church.
