Which person? Geoffrey or Greco?

As it seems you may have learned by now, clerical personae of various
sorts seem to be semi-and-unofficially reserved for gay and bisexual
SCAdians. In theory, such titles are not officially sanctioned by the
SCA, because of the SCA, Inc.'s refusal to espouse one religion over
another, or to officially support religious activities at our events.

The MSR, a.k.a. Medieval Studies and Recreations (Restorations?), or
some such, also known in the SCA as the Kingdom of Acre, may have
different rules about this.

Actually, from what I've seen, Master Geoffrey makes much less of an
issue of his Bishop-ness than Greco does.
