Amended D025 passes Deputies; Bishops to return to C056 tomorrow

The Deputies passed the amended version of D025 sent to them by the bishops by a vote of 78 deputations in favor, 21 opposed and nine deputations divided (and therefore counted as no votes.) The clergy tally was 77-19-11.

Here is the amended resolution.

Meanwhile, the bishops have decided to postpone further consideration of C056, the same-sex blessing resolution until tomorrow afternoon.

There is other stuff going on, but ENS will be on the job this evening, and I will pass along their reports.

Is there a listing of how the deputations voted?

Roll was not called because D025 got 72 percent in both the clerical and lay orders in the House of Deputies.
