A160 Debate Continues on the Floor of the House of Deputies

Now another deputy from the Diocese of Washington opposes the resolution because she feels that there is nothing to be sorry for with the actions of General Convention 2003.

Southwest Florida deputy supports the resolution (Sharon Lewis) thinks that this resolution has radical hospitality. "Let's go with this and begin this process now," she says.

The next deputy (who is from the south) Western North Carolina - He voted for Gene Robinson and is not sorry for what he did. He does not repent nor regret. "Please don't ask me to do that," he tells the House.

Upper South Carolina deputy speaks sells we must go beyond self-righteousness - supports the Resolution and thinks that it will be accepted by the larger communion (it won't - it's filled with political holes and traps).

Official Youth Delegate from Iowa - He opposes the resolution (he is only 18 years) "Never once in 18 years ever to regret a decision made out of love and in good faith. Gene Robinson's work with the youth has shown the utmost love to all people. This resolution would undermine the work of Gene Robinson. Furthermore, I cannot support a resolution that demonizes Gene Robinson for who he is."

Ft. Worth Deputy - Christopher Cantrell speaks to having been wrong and having it pointed out to him. He loves being a part of the Anglican Communion and believes it's important to listen to the wisdom of the whole.

Rochester Deputy - he particpated in 1974 General Convention where women were able to be ordained and so he opposes the resolution because he's not sorry.

West Texas Deputy - supports resolution and all Windsor-related resolutions without amendments. Warns against not truly listening to the Anglican Communion. Wants to give new PB clout.
