Continuation of 9.16.09:
9am session: Passed X013 Special Order for consideration of Report from PB&F to be heard at the 2pm session. Passed other not as exciting resolutions.
I went to sleep during lunch hour. Still so tired.
2pm session: Passed concent calendar for the day (which is increasing daily since it is just one vote for all resolutions in it). Passed budget with no amendment after having special order for it. D048 urging Universal Health Care was a hot issue. We voted 50.4 yes, 49.6 No. C023 came up about Sam Sex Unions:Defense of Marital Statuses, there was a vote by order and some confusion on deputations' votes and even 2 people asked for us to relook at the decision, but we didnt. Lay: 70 yes, 28 no, 11 divided (which equals no) and Clergy: 60 yes, 35 no, 14 divided, it passed in both orders and therefore carries.
That night I went out with some people from the chicago deputation as well as Tim Sessions to an Indian restuarant it was good. Then we went to the U2Charist which was long and loud, so we left after the peace, then went to the social wind down hour in the Bishop's room, then bed.
This morning (7.17.09) I am up, went to the deputation meeting that was in the Bishops room for 45 minutes and we discussed some closing legislation as well as ideas for meetings later throughout the diocese to tell our stories.
I am going to write again on the last day probably tomorrow.
