I’ve just had a chance to look at the bishops’ legislative calendar for the day, and it seems very unlikely that they will take up Resolution D025 today. I don’t think B012, the “pastoral generosity” resolution that would allow bishops in states that have legalized same-sex marriage some latitude in adapting Prayer Book rituals for use with such couples, is on the calendar either. I think substitute resolutions are in the works.
A major resolution on same-sex blessings has cleared the Prayer Book Committee by a huge margin (6-0 among bishops, 26-1 in deputies) We should have text soon. It asks for the development of rites for same-sex blessings that can be considered at our next convention. It also grants some of the “pastoral generosity” sought by B012 to all bishops.
I haven’t had time to round up links today, or say much about Title IV, which comes to the floor of the House of Deputies this afternoon, or about the MDG and Latino Ministry legislation, both of which are exciting, but about which others will have to inform you more fully.
