Theological and liturgical resources to be considered at General Convention, July 5-12

The Standing Commission on Liturgy and Music (SCLM) of the Episcopal Church has forwarded to the House of Bishops and the House of Deputies excerpts from its report, “I Will Bless You, and You Will Be a Blessing”: Resources for Blessing Same-Gender Relationships. 

The report, nearly three years in the making, was prepared by the SCLM in compliance 2009-C056, "Liturgies for Blessings,"  a resolution  approved by the General Convention (GC) of the Episcopal Church in 2009 which directed the SCLM to collect and develop theological and liturgical resources for the blessing of same-gender relationships through an open process.

You can read the report excerpt HERE.

    It is interesting that the summary information tells to us that,
    "The report,[was] nearly three years in the making..."
    Seems at bit presumptuous to change 2000 years of Tradition and an even longer period of written scripture with a study of this nature. The study appears to reflect the attitudes of our secular society more than it does historic Christianity.
