I should have known The Witness would be on it.
Go to http://www.thewitness.org
Click on "Contents" and you'll get stories about Resolutions A161 and B 033, complete with ballot results.
While you're there, browse around. It's a great online magazine.
"Finally, I suspect that it is by entering that deep place inside us where our secrets are kept that we come perhaps closer than we do anywhere else to the One who, whether we realize it or not, is of all our secrets the most telling and the most precious we have to tell." Frederick Buechner

Thanks, but again no names. I want names! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI'm tapping my toe and twiddling my pencil and waiting for names so I can drop a few notes in the (e)mail.
Have a safe trip home, Elizabeth. I'm a member of the Cathedral congregation here in Boston, and this Sunday is definitely NOT a "skip church to work in the garden" Sunday in my book. There should be some interesting conversation -- and maybe fascinating preaching. And a whole lot of gratitude for my local church community.
Still can't find out how the various deputations voted. I guess I can always ask someone at the diocese, but I would have thought this would have been available fairly quicly. It sure was for the defeat of 161.
ReplyDeleteAnd according to one site, there were no actual signatories, but Bishops who concurred with the dissent, stood as it was read. Is this correct?
jfmckenna,
ReplyDeleteReally, this is not an appropriate place for that sort of post but, while we're at it, I am a physician and almost all of those disease can be the result of heterosexual intercourse as well. If you think that they are unique to homosexual intercourse, you are sadly deluded. If, however, you wish to post a vulgar and insensitive comment, then how about "coming out" and putting your name and a profile out where we can all see it? How about getting your own blog where you can post your message as many times as you like (I got one, they're free!)
Thanks Elizabeth, I am a newbie to these blogs but seriously interested in this discussion. I greatly appreciate your blog.
