The resolution, modified in some details from the version proposed by the diocese\u2019s resolutions committee but still to the same effect, was approved by vote of the Council on February 13.[1] Somewhat surprisingly, it passed with the support of several clergy generally identified as having a conservative view, who signed on as named proponents of the resolution alongside the five proponents (three clergy and two lay) of the original resolutions submitted to the committee.  All five of these new proponents are clergy from Houston, two of them being rectors of the Diocese\u2019s largest two parishes. Four of the five are listed on the Communion Partners web site as Communion Partner Rectors[2]and one of these four is listed as a member of the Communion Partner Clergy Steering Committee.  These new named proponents of the resolution do not include any laypersons, and accounts of the Council meeting published on the diocese\u2019s web site do not indicate that any laypersons identified with the conservative side spoke from the Council floor in support of the resolution.
