Let the Sunshine In
Abstract: Sierra Pacific Synod sends "Sunshine Resolution" to churchwide.
In addition to the Goodsoil Memorial, the Sierra-Pacific Synod assembly also approved and sent to churchwide a resolution for full disclosure of the cost of disciplinary activities to enforce the celibacy requirement for gay and lesbian clergy. Local supporters dubbed this the "Sunshine Resolution" (not a name we would have chosen, but it's out of our hands) and took the strategic step of separating the memorial for disclosure from a second measure to impose spending limits on these disciplinary activities. The memorial for disclosure passed by a wide margin. An early version of the Sunshine Resolution first appeared here in Lutheran Confessions Vol. I, xi, January 16, 2007 , item 4.
