When the Diocese of Colorado reconvened March 4, its sole purpose was to address the Lambeth Conference resolutions on the ordination of women, blessings of committed same-sex relationships, and ordination of non-celibate homosexual persons.

Delegates left the door open to future dialogue on the issue of same-sex blessings and ordinations of homosexual persons. They reaffirmed the ordination of women and their support of church policy requiring all bishops to ordain women, regardless of their theological point-of-view.

"Our sense is the conversation should continue," delegate Scott Peterson told the Rocky Mountain News.

Delegates affirmed the Lambeth resolution on primacy of scripture.

"What is increasingly under threat is our sense of whether we're still in communion with the larger Anglican Communion," said the Rev. Ephraim Radner, rector of Ascension, Pueblo.
