Tallies are at the end of the letter

8/12/98

Gentle bishops,

I have been besieged, as I am sure have many of you, with requests about how individual bishops voted on the sexuality resolution at Lambeth. I realize that the vote was only a hand count. If you would like for your vote to be public, I will gladly add your vote to a tally linked to my page on the House of Bishops at

http://newark.rutgers.edu/~lcrew/hob.html

I VOTED FOR THE SEXUALITY RESOLUTION WHICH PASSED AT LAMBETH 1998

or

I VOTED AGAINST THE SEXUALITY RESOLUTION WHICH PASSED AT LAMBETH 1998

I am appending a copy of the resolution in question.

Thank you for your time.
