A reader sent us a copy of the resolutions passed by the Diocese of Dallas during its convention October 17-18.
You can read them all here: Diocese of Dallas 2008 resolutions
The three resolutions forwarded to us:
1) Express gratitude express to Bishop Stanton and Bishop Lambert for voting No to the deposition of the Rt. Rev’d Robert Duncan
2) Request that the office of the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church provide each diocese of The Episcopal Church with the following information:
a. the dollar amount spent by TEC on litigation against dioceses, parishes, groups of churches and individuals since General Convention 2006;
b. a list of the church accounts and/or budget items from which these funds were taken;
c. the proposed amount of money for litigation to be presented to the 2009 General Convention of the Episcopal Church.
3) Requests that the Episcopal Church adopt a policy of negotiation and/or mediation with regard to disputes over property, and according to the request of the Dar Es Salaam Primate’s Communiqué, cease and desist from engaging in lawsuits with fellow Christians.
According to our informant all three passed. We’d welcome more details as to vote margins, etc. Thanks!
