Data for these reports come from a variety of sources, including my own records, official voting records posted at various General Conventions, The Electronic Clerical Directory (Church Publishing Company, 1998), The Episcopal Church Annual (Morehouse Publishing) through the 1998 edition. As I will use the last two sources for future updates, it is important that a bishop updating her or his record from those sources send the information to those publications as well as to me.

Regarding the tallies of bishops' voting records:

The display requires a browser which can handle tables.

Action items are listed at the right, and the bishop's response/nonresponse is indicated in a column at the left. If an item has a '1' before it, the bishop took that action. If the bishop did not take that action, it is either blank or has '0' (clear vote against), 'ne' (not eligible), 'n/a' (not applicable/not available).

The actions printed in red are actions hostile to lesbigays. Actions printed in green are actions affirming lesbigays. Actions printed in black are actions neutral as to lesbigays.

When records grow out of date:

When a bishop dies, I will remove that bishop's listing in the indexes, but the report will remain online and still be linked to the report of the bishops just before and after that bishop alphabetically.

At the 1997 General Convention, four dioceses departed to create their own new province: El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, and Panama. Reports on all bishops, active and retired, from those dioceses do appear at this site, but only the retired bishops show up in the indexes, since the active bishops there are no longer part of the Episcopal Church. You will continue to see links to them in the reports on persons before and after them alphabetically.

Thank you for your interest.
