The Episcopal Diocese of Rochester has proposed a Resolution for adoption at General Convention 2006 (extra paragraphing added; hat tip Father Jake):
RESOLUTION E: A Resolution Responding to the Windsor Report for the 2006 General Convention
Resolved, That the Secretary of the 2005 Convention of the Episcopal Diocese of Rochester submit the following resolution to the 2006 General Convention of the Episcopal Church meeting in Columbus, Ohio: * * *
We cannot, however, as a church, receive the statement of resolution 1.10 of the 1998 Lambeth Conference, “rejecting homosexual practice as incompatible with Scripture,” as definitive Anglican teaching on this matter.
We do not believe that the current
controversy regarding different understandings of the place of our
members who happen to be homosexual in their orientation is a matter on
which our essential unity depends.
We believe that our unity as a Church is best expressed by our commitment to serve together in mission to the world, and that the theological essentials that unite us are best expressed in the Chicago-Lambeth Quadrilateral. * * *
