Is this a REAL back off.

is this a "we are just going to appologize for trying this too soon-and-we-will-try-again-in-a-few-years" shell game.
With all the homosexual church commercials these days, these boutique churches seem desperate for an audience.
is this a "we are just going to appologize for trying this too soon-and-we-will-try-again-in-a-few-years" shell game."
It looks worse:
"Though they appear reluctant to impose an outright bar on the future election of gay bishops, the majority seem willing to back a call for dioceses to exercise "very considerable caution" before doing so."
Probably not. This is a rumor from a closed meeting. The real backing-off, if there is one, will come at General Convention in June. The pro-homosexual groups have set out a big agenda.
The most interesting thing will be the Bishop's election in the Diocese of Californica, where I think we can probably expect to see one of the practicing homosexual candidates to get the nod.
Apparently one of the big political hot potatoes in the GC planning is where to place the approval of the new bishop with repect to the debate concerning the Windsor report.
It will probably take the form of a "we're sorry that the rest of the world is so close-minded and backwards" pseudo-apology.
