I’m still slogging through the transcripts and summaries and will shortly post Richard Johnson’s summaries of the morning.

Short answer:

“Bound Conscience” resolution passed, by close to 2/3 margin, (50% needed for passage)

Allowing congregations that choose to do so to affirm homosexual unions (gay “marriage”) passed by 60% margin, 50% required for passage.

Votes have not yet been taken on Ordaining partnered gays but the trend looks like 60/40 vote in favor.

Kyria Eleison.
