Original Text of Resolution:
(D101)
Resolved, the House of Deputies concurring, That this 68th General Convention of the Episcopal Church instruct the Standing Liturgical Commission to take such steps as are necessary to produce a Calendar of Optional Commemorations ("Lesser Feasts") that reflects the true proportion of lay and women "saints" and "saints" of color (of non-European descent) who have conspicuously served Christ throughout the life of the Church, and that is not limited to members of the Anglican Communion.
Proposed Committee Amendment:
Replace the word "instruct" with the word "request."
Add the phrase "the Church Year" in place of the phrase "Optional Commemorations "Lesser Feasts" that."
Delete the phrase "reflects the true proportion of lay and women "saints" and "saints" of color (of non-European descent) who have conspicuously served Christ throughout the life of the Church, and that is not limited to members of the Anglican Communion" and in place of that phrase substitute the phrase "which will add additional women."
Seconded by Bishop Gooden.
