Today was a wonderful day at convention! None of the anti-gay resolutions passed, and were actually voted down pretty handily. The nearly universal theme on the floor was that the Diocese of Chicago is unwilling to place unity (with the Anglican Communion) above justice. Several straight persons, both clergy and laity, spoke against the various resolutions. Only a couple of people, other than the sponsors of the resolutions, spoke in favor of them.
I was proud to be a member of the Church today.
Most of the other resolutions were passed by voice vote, although a couple were voted down. But good work was done, and I was pleased to have played even a very small part.
