Saint Thurgood?

David Niven reports in The Other Paper on the Episcopal Church's General Convention in Columbus, Ohio.
About 10,000 church members, including more than 1,000 bishops, clergy and laypeople with voting rights, will gather at the Greater Columbus Convention Center beginning Tuesday [June 13] to debate issues as weighty as the role of gays in the church and as mundane as the operating budget. In between, they will vote on whether [U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Thurgood] Marshall, who died in 1993, should be a saint.
