On this day, last year, the Epsicopal diocese of New Hampshire, including priests and laypeople, voted to name Gene Robinson their next Bishop.

And Robinson would become the first openly gay man to become a Bishop in the Episcopal church worldwide.

Parishioners, priests, and even whole dioceses threatened to leave, and a few made good on their threats.

The leaders in the Worldwide Anglican Communion feared disintegration.

A year later, very few of those fears have been realized.

And as Bishop Robinson told NHPR's John Walters, the church is not only surviving, it's thriving.

Today, she is widely respected for her thoughts on all things canine. She is the owner/operator of All Dogs Gym and Inn and a regular columnist with the Manchester Union Leader. She joins John to talk about new trends in dog training, she dispels some myths held by trainers and vets alike, and she shares some factors to consider when your dog becomes a problem.
