Metro NY rescinds resolution

If you remember, Metro NY Synod of the ELCA called a special assembly last October to address the results of the Churchwide Assembly votes on the issue of homosexuality. They passed a resolution that was ruled in conflict with the decisions of the CWA. At this summer's synodical convention in NY, people expressed anger at the special gathering in October and how people were notified. The end result: they rescinded the resolution. Interesting in light of the fact that many synods this spring and summer have passed (or not passed) resolutions supporting or chastising Metro NY for their slap at CWA...

Anyway, for a summary of the synodical "silly season" and discussion of this topic visit the ALPB forum - click on the title!
