Beginning in April 2021, Love has served as Assistant Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of the Living Word.

Love is known for his support for a “traditional” definition of marriage and for his opposition to the blessing of same-sex unions; this stance led to his dismissal from the Episcopal Church.

In October 2020, Love was found to have violated Episcopal Church doctrine and rules due to his refusal to permit same-sex unions to be blessed by clergy within the Albany diocese.

According to the Episcopal Diocese of Albany, Love is a Texas native; he earned a Bachelor of Arts in journalism from Southwest Texas State in 1980, a Master of Science degree in education from the State University of New York-Plattsburgh in 1988,[1][better source needed] and a master's degree in Divinity in 1991 from Nashotah House.

[2] Love was elected bishop coadjutor of the Episcopal Diocese of Albany on March 25, 2006;[1] he received the consent of the General Convention that summer in Columbus, Ohio.

[2] Love has consistently stood for an orthodox view of the Bible and for the stance of the Anglican Communion on matters of human sexuality.

In July 2018, the General Convention of the Episcopal Church passed a resolution allowing same-sex weddings to be performed in the eight dissenting dioceses.

[16] A June 12, 2020 disciplinary hearing was held to determine whether Love had violated church law by refusing to allow same-sex weddings to be conducted by Episcopal clergy in the Diocese of Albany.

[19] On October 24, 2020, Love announced his resignation as bishop pursuant to a disciplinary agreement with church authorities.
