The big news of the day is that the House of Deputies approved resolution D025, a response to B033, the resolution passed at General Convention in 2006 that placed a moratorium on the election of gay bishops.
Sorry to boggle you with all that convention-ese of resolution names and numbers.
I think it’s important to point out what this resolution does and doesn’t do, before we all start wringing our hands and doing the Chicken Little thing. The sky has not fallen. Even one of the deputies who crafted the bill said, “This is not a great leap forward.”

Oh, brother.
I’m still amazed that the Corporation still believes that it alone decides whether it participates in the Anglican Communion. The arrogance never ceases to amaze me.
still Anglican, still Episcopalian….but Christian??
And this is where I am always flabberghasted by the mendacity of some people:
[blockquote]My mother and I don’t agree on this. We’ve agreed to keep loving each other anyway.[/blockquote]
Madam, just because people find themselves not in communion anymore, it does not follow that one has ceased to “love” the other. Indeed, I know divorced people that still very much love each other, but they just do not belong under the same roof.
Sheesh. How rhetorically dishonest can you get? That is the most transparent attempted guilt trip I think I have ever seen.
#W2, it’s always been that way in the past (unilateral decisions), why would it change now? Which means, boy is it going to be a day of agony when it actually does change….
