TLC: San Diego Asks Church to Cut Abortion Rights Ties
February 13, 2008

Delegates to the convention of the Diocese of San Diego approved all 11 resolutions introduced, including one calling on the 76th General Convention to “end the officially sanctioned affiliation of The Episcopal Church with the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice” (RCRC). Convention met Feb. 8-9 at St. Margaret’s Church, Palm Desert, Calif.

The RCRC resolution was a substitute for the original which called on the diocese to dissociate from a decision made by Executive Council in January 2006 to join the RCRC on behalf of The Episcopal Church. During hearings about the resolution, a consensus emerged among some who had procedural concerns about the way the decision to join the RCRC was made as well as those delegates opposed to abortion. the rest
