After several hours of small group discussions and debate, and by an overwhelming vote, the Bishops of The Episcopal Church (TEC) approved a resolution which repudiates the Anglican Communion moratorium on any further consecration of homosexual or lesbian candidates as bishops. The vote was not even close: 99 in favor, 45 against, and 2 abstentions. Only a simple majority was required to approve the resolution. This vote effectively overturns the moratorium that had been requested by the Windsor Report, the Primates of the Anglican Communion meeting in Dar es Salaam in 2008, and the Windsor Continuation Group Recommendations to the Anglican Consultative Council meeting in Jamaica just over a month ago.
