Diocese of Albany remains in Network

This proposed resolution was defeated:

proposed Resolution #8

As presented Friday evening:

RESOLVED that the Episcopal Diocese of Albany renews its commitment to full participation in in the works and mission of the The Episcopal Church; and

that the Episcopal Diocese of Albany reaffirms it constituent and undivided connection to and communion with The Episcopal Church and the worldwide Anglican Communions; and

that the Episcopal Diocese of Albany disassociate itself from the Network of Anglican Communion Dioceses and Parishes and from The Common Cause Partnership.

This was sent to the relevant committee and came back to Convention Saturday afternoon, amended:


RESOLVED that the Episcopal Diocese of Albany renews its commitment to full participation in in the works and mission of the The Episcopal Church; and

that the Episcopal Diocese of Albany reaffirms it constituent and undivided connection to and communion with The Episcopal Church and the worldwide Anglican Communions; and


(on the grounds that this was redundant - the Diocese of Albany has reaffirmed this at previous Conventions)


that the Episcopal Diocese of Albany disassociate itself from the Network of Anglican Communion Dioceses and Parishes and from The Common Cause Partnership.

(The Diocese of Albany is not a signatory to the Common Cause Partnership)


The Resolution was soundly defeated. There was a vote by Orders, but I don't have the count.
