Well, the New York Times gave a pretty good summary of TEC'S House Of Bishops Meeting at Camp Allen (Navasota, TX, not too far from Houston).
I am very happy about the outcome of their meeting. TEC does not appear to be backing down and if The Episcopal Church gets thrown out of the Anglican communion, so be it. The million dollars a year we spend for membership in that club can certainly be put to good use around the world.

Episcopals Rebuff Demands on Stance on Gays
By LAURIE GOODSTEIN
Published: March 21, 2007
Responding to an ultimatum from the leaders of the worldwide Anglican Communion, bishops of the Episcopal Church have rejected a key demand to create a parallel leadership structure to serve the conservative minority of Episcopalians who oppose their church’s liberal stand on homosexuality.
The bishops, meeting at a retreat center outside of Houston, said they were aware that their decision could lead to the exclusion of the Episcopal Church from the Anglican Communion, an international confederation of churches tied to the Church of England.
