It goes for a second reading at GS2019.  Meanwhile, to speak in very 
sweeping generalizations, the northern dioceses where the Indigenous 
People were missionaried, and in the northern sweep of the Prairies, you 
have No, and those bishops have great influence over their people and 
are not likely to change their minds. In fact they marched out in anger 
when the vote result became Yes. In the vote, to our great surprise, the 
House of Bishops met the 2/3 majority without problem and the laity were 
more than 3/4 in favour.  It was the clergy who sat on the knife edge.  
So I don't know.  Wiser heads than mine will be wrestling with the 
problem of division.
