| Title: | Urge Study of the Death Penalty and Explore Reasons for Opposition | |
| Legislative Action Taken: | Concurred as Substituted | |
| Final Text: | ||
Resolved, That as the Episcopal Church continues its opposition to the death penalty, parishes and dioceses be urged to study the death penalty and explore the reasons for our opposition: the inequity as applied to minorities, the poor and those who cannot afford adequate legal representation, the contribution to continued violence, and the violation of our Baptismal Covenant.
