From the Chicago Tribune--EPISCOPALIANS TO DEBATE RESOLUTION ASKING MEMBERS TO GIVE UP THEIR WEAPONS
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Episcopalians in northern Illinois will debate a resolution to get their guns out of their homes, as the Diocese of Chicago meets Saturday for its annual convention.
The proposed resolution calls on Episcopalians to remove "handguns and assault weapons" from their homes and cars because "the violence in our midst is enabled by the presence of guns." It has no enforcement mechanism.
If the roughly 500 clergy and lay delegates meeting at St. James Cathedral Saturday pass the resolution, the diocese will ask the rest of the 2.5-million-member denomination to follow suit.
