General Convention 2006

Send out your light and your truth; let them lead me; let them bring me to your holy hill and to your dwelling. Then I will go to the altar of God, and I will praise you . . . Psalm 43:3-4

Conscientious Objection?

This paragraph is taken from the recent Statement of Conscience put forth by a group of bishops, led by ++John Chane of the Diocese of Washington, who rose to prayerfully dissent from the actions of General Convention 2006 in passing Resolution B033 on the Election of Bishops.

"Our conversation has been framed in a flawed paradigm, forcing us to choose between two goods—the full inclusion in the life of the Church of our brother and sister Christians who happen to be gay or lesbian and our full inclusion in the life of our beloved Communion."
Don't they mean 'forcing us to choose between two gods'?
