Joint Session Completed
June 21st, 2006 by Peter Frank
Well, that didn’t take long. The Joint Session is over. Matt Kennedy has a description of what was done and said. The bottom line is that there will be one more attempt by both houses to pass a very stripped down resolution that will simply say that the 75th General Convention “receives and embraces” Bishop Gene Robinson and calls upon standing committees etc. to excercise restration in consecrating people whose manner of life may pose a difficulty in the broader Anglican Communion.
I’ll go try to find the actual text. While they may well be able to pass this, it falls far, far short of the moratoria called for in the Windsor Report.
