The following resolution was passed by the Standing Committee of the
Anglican Communion meeting in London on 15-18 December, and approved for
public distribution.

> Resolved that, in the light of:

1.  The recent episcopal nomination in the Diocese of Los Angeles of a
partnered lesbian candidate

2.  The decisions in a number of US and Canadian dioceses to proceed
with formal ceremonies of same-sex blessings

3.  Continuing cross-jurisdictional activity within the Communion

The Standing Committee strongly reaffirm Resolution 14.09 of ACC 14
supporting the three moratoria proposed by the Windsor Report and the
associated request for gracious restraint in respect of actions that
endanger the unity of the Anglican Communion by going against the
declared view of the Instruments of Communion.
