Marching To Anaheim
Representatives of the Greater Hartford and Waterbury Area Chapters of Integrity have developed two Resolutions which will be submitted to our Connecticut Deputies who we hope will, in turn, deliver them to the Episcopal Church's 76th General Convention. The title of the first proposed resolutions is: "Baptized Entitled to all Sacraments". The title of the second is "Consecrate Qualified Candidates" Both Resolutions were developed with the intent of achieving the full integration of of LGBT members in The Episcopal Churches' rites.
The Committee also reviewed a number of Resolutions developed by LGBT advocacy organizations and we will be requesting the Connecticut Delegates support their passage. To view these resolutions click here.
