It is ironic that a General Convention which made strides toward an even more inclusive Episcopal Church took steps to force three of its dioceses to be more in conformity. At the 73rd General Convention in Denver, a resolution was adopted which calls for the creation of a task force to move into the dioceses of Fort Worth, Quincy and San Joaquin to make mandatory the ordination of women in every diocese. The three dioceses, the last in the church in which women are not ordained to the priesthood, continue to hold theological positions which are valid in nearly every province of the Anglican Communion, but most of convention felt they were not moving fast enough. Therefore, by September 2002, before the next General Convention meets in Minneapolis, they will have to comply with the terms of the resolution. The three dioceses, hardly the most influential or the largest in the church, appeared to be making strides toward the wishes of convention, but their deliberate pace was not to the convention's liking. Whatever became of Anglican tolerance?
