| DESCRIPTION |
Listing of positions taken by the
diocese and The Episcopal Church, and three choices of direction
offered to the diocese by its leadership |
| COMMENT |
Versions of this document were
distributed at various district meetings. The first section lists
actions taken by diocesan convention between 2003 and 2006.
(Resolution 1 of 2002, which “warned” General Convention 2003
against making various decisions is omitted.) The second section
asserts that
The Episcopal Church has not done what the primates have asked of it. The third section lists a version of three of the four
options originally discussed at a retreat in May. The option of
“submitting” to The Episcopal Church, which is to say, taking an
active, cooperative role role in church affairs, has apparently been
dropped as unacceptable. |
