[The Anglican Church of Canada] 24 June 2007--Anglicans meeting in General Synod suspended their discussion of controversial blessing of same-sex unions resolutions Saturday evening with at least 16 delegates still waiting to speak on the subject.
The Primate, Archbishop Andrew Hutchison, in deciding to halt the session, said the session was "making his dying hours as Primate very interesting."
A motion from the floor to alter the agenda and continue debate was defeated. The discussion will continue Sunday.
General Synod defeated a motion that would have required resolutions sent to it by the Council of General Synod on same-sex blessings to carry only if they received 60 per cent of the vote. This means that approval now defaults to a 50 per cent vote requirement.
