Anaheim GC09 Update: Vote tallies in House of Deputies Released

On Friday, Episcope released vote totals by order for the House of Deputies Votes on the resolutions.

Supermajorities passed the two headline resolutions (1) affirming that all orders of ministry are open to persons in committed same sex relationships (D025) and (2) asking bishops to provide "generous pastoral response" to same sex couples (C056) 

D025, the Lay Order voted 77 to 31, and the Clergy Order voted 74 to 35.

On C056 the Lay Order voted 78 to 23 (with 7 evenly divided delegations, counted as No).  The Clergy Order voted 74 to 27 (with 7 evenly divided).

The votes are taken by diocese.  Each diocesan delegation  has 4 Lay and 4 Clergy deputies.  Each Yes vote means that at least 3 people in that Order in that delegation voted Yes.  An evenly divided delegation is counted as a No. 
 
The report is here.
