| Final Text: | ||
Resolved, That Article III of the Constitution is hereby amended to read as follows:
ARTICLE III
Bishops may be consecrated for foreign lands upon due application
therefrom, with the approbation of a majority of the Bishops of this
Church entitled to vote in the House of Bishops, certified to the
Presiding Bishop; under such conditions as may be prescribed by Canons
of the General Convention. Bishops so consecrated shall not be eligible
to the office of Diocesan or of Bishop Coadjutor of any Diocese in the
United States or be entitled to vote in the House of Bishops, nor shall
they perform any act of the episcopal office in any Diocese or
Missionary Diocese of this Church, unless requested so to do by the
Ecclesiastical Authority thereof. If a Bishop so consecrated shall be
subsequently duly elected as a Bishop of a Missionary Diocese of this
Church, such election shall then confer all the rights and privileges
given in the Canon Canons to such Bishops.
