Resolution #10 Supporting Relationships of Mutuality and Fidelity

The Committee moves to table the resolution until next year with the following:

* We heard much support for the broad sentiment of the resolution. We also heard that the importance of this resolution invites our best attention.

* We agreed to involve more broadly the whole family in this conversation in the coming year.

* As a body we worked to respect one another in the middle of an issue for which we all have deep passion.

* Being mindful of Paul's call to bear one another's burdens, we invited people to voice their pain and hear the pain of others.

* Respecting our differences, we wish to work toward a consensus.

* As a diocese we have worked hard to be the body of Christ. It is good work and we are being transformed by it.

* We are committed to doing what is necessary to offer a resolution next year that attends to these issues in a transformational manner.
