3. Did not repeal B033 (last Convention\u2019s resolution which asks bishops and standing committees to exercize \u201crestraint\u201d\u009d in consenting to the election of any bishop whose \u201cmanner of life\u201d\u009d would cause additional strains on the Anglican Communion.)…<\/p>\n
5. Authorized the Standing Commission on Liturgy and Music to work on designing rites for the blessing of same gender unions which would need to be brought back to the next General Convention for possible authorization in \u201ctrial use.\u201d\u009d<\/p>\n
6. Did not authorize any \u201cpublic rites\u201d\u009d for such blessings at the present time. The point of working on these for the future is so that we can get our theology right on these to know what we are actually doing as a church. This is crucial because the society is moving so quickly toward \u201cgay marriage\u201d\u009d and the church needs to be clear about what we think we are going when, and if, we bless such civil unions.<\/p>\n
