This special resolution was brought to the floor of our final plenary. The delegates voted 2/3 majority to allow this resolution on the floor. This resolution is in support of Roman Catholic Women Religious as they are under attack within their own denomination. It also invites them to bring their ministry under the wings of the UCC and our Conference.
A good debate and discussion is happening in support of these Women Religious but instead supporting their struggle within their tradition.
The body voted to table the resolution to a date certain not to be later than next Annual Meeting. Before the tabling - their were friendly amendments and this is the current resolution.
A celebration of our life, ministry, and gatherings in the Pacific Northwest Conference of the United Church of Christ
