Hot news or news flash, but here's today's good news:
The House of Bishops (of The Episcopal Church) has passed Resolution C056 which opens the pathway for designing rites for same-sex blessings and allows for 'generous pastoral care' in jurisdictions where same-sex marriages or civil unions have been legalized. It's the Anglican way of saying, local bishops may allow (or not) pre-union counseling and even some type of ceremony to mark Episcopalian couples' unions.
Alleluia in the highest!!
Before I get too carried away, let's remember that's the action of the House of Bishops; we still must get approval in the House of Deputies. Let us pray.... Amen!
Update: The House of Deputies has concurred with wide margins among laity and clergy.
Amen Ba-wo! Amen Ba-wo! Amen sia kudu misa!
