Phil - if you mean wait for diocesan conventions or General Convention, I don't think we do need to do that. Our Executive Council has called for "discussion," and I do believe that it is in the power of any individual, such as the PB, in authority or otherwise, to speak individually. I hope that by the time the next GC comes, this terrible bill will have faded into nothing.

Under Episcopal Church polity, Executive Council speaks with the authority of General Convention; however, I believe it does not have the legislative authority of General Convention.
Thank God for the Canadian church, which is not afraid to speak out-the proposed Ugandan legislation appears to be draconian enough that speaking out against it shouldn't even be controversial.
Silence implies either cowardice, indifference, or assent.

Or realism. What will a statement accomplish?
