The American Episcopal Church dealt with the issue of (openly) gay bishops over a decade ago and now it's almost a non-issue for most Episcopalians. Even the conservative congregations which flew off in a huff and aligned themselves with homophobic African bishops have come crawling back once they realized, in court, that their respective dioceses owned their pretty traditional buildings under AEC Canon Law. Apparently they didn't want to go through the heavy lifting required to replace those pretty buildings, so their righteous outrage over the "scandal" of the gay bishops took a back seat as they quietly dropped their lawsuits. The Methodists will get past this issue as well - long after most of the gay people have disappeared from the pews after having been driven away by homophobic sermons and condescending looks. In most churches the only gay people still around are the closeted, or in this case not-so-closeted clergy. These days most gay people would rather sleep in on Sundays.
