Clergy and lay deputies to convention in the Diocese of San Diego cautioned General Convention against acting unilaterally in opposition to the rest of the Anglican Communion.

Convention met Feb. 7-8 at St. Margaret’s Church, Palm Desert, and adopted a resolution titled “General Convention and the Holy Spirit.” The resolution affirmed doctrinal standards set forth in the Book of Common Prayer, called on General Convention deputies to seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and requested bishops and dioceses to “guard the faith, unity and discipline of the church by refraining from acting unilaterally and in violation of canon law in those controversial areas where resolution has not yet been achieved by the whole church.”
