2008 Resolution

Following a year of study, prayer, conversation and discernment, the 'Call to Listen Committee' (responding to Res #10, 2007) has written a resolution to be considered at our 2008 convention. As chair, I'd like to thank the committee members for their wisdom, their many hours of hard work, and their deep affection for the diocese. --Michael Hudson

Resolved, that the Eighty-Seventh Convention of the Diocese of Western North Carolina, believing that our commitment to the Anglican Communion and our commitment to dismantling structures of discrimination are expressions of the same inexhaustible love, call upon the 76th General Convention to enact legislation to insure that sexual orientation cease to be a barrier for full inclusion in The Episcopal Church.
