REV. GENE ROBINSON, EPISCOPAL BISHOP OF NEW HAMPSHIRE: I'm certainly disappointed in the decision as it came down. But I'm also hopeful about this movement that we're in.
You know, as a Christian and as a bishop of the church, I know from 1st John Chapter 4 that where love is, God is. It says that if we know love, we know God. And I know in my own relationship with my partner of over 20 years, I have learned so much about the self-giving love of God, because that's how my partner treats me.
And it's why the church values marriage. We believe it's a place where God can show up and where we can learn about that kind of self- giving love and why...
KING: All right...
ROBINSON: ...anyone who loves deserves it.
