The 73rd Convention of the Episcopal Church concluded without the division that many had feared might happen.
Reports are that it was the most reasonable convention that has taken place in quite some time.
Passed The call to Common Mission with the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America. This is not a merger. May pave the way for possible sharing of ministers and yoking of congregations at some time. Defeated the proposal to prepare liturgical rite for same-sex unions. Passed a resolution that does not change the teaching of the Church regarding homosexual behaviors but does show clearly how confused the Church is on these matters.
