Those persons who practise homosexuality and live in promiscuity, as well asthose Bishops who knowingly ordain them or encourage these practices, act contrary to theScriptures and the teaching of the Church. We call upon them to repent;(e) respects as persons and seeks to strengthen compassion, pastoral care, healing, correctionand restoration for all who suffer or err through homosexual or other kind of sexual brokenness.(f) affirms that it is therefore the responsibility of the Church to lead to repentance all those whodeviate from the orthodox teaching of the Scriptures and to assure them of God's forgiveness,hope and dignity.Note: This Resolution was put to the Conference in the form of an amendment to Resolution I.10and was defeated.Resolution V.10 from the Latin American RegionThis Conference recognises the importance of strengthening Christian family values, and therebyreaffirms traditional Anglican sexual ethics.Note: This Resolution was put to the Conference in the form of an amendment to Resolution I.10and was withdrawn by the mover.Resolution V. 23 from the South East Asia RegionThis Conference receives the Kuala Lumpur Statement on Human Sexuality with gratitude as anauthentic expression of Anglican moral norms.Note: This Resolution was not voted upon, as the Conference agreed to pass to next business.Resolution V.35 from the West Africa RegionThis Conference:(a) noting that (i) the Word of God has established the fact that God created man and woman and blessed theirmarriage;(ii) many parts of the Bible condemn homosexuality as a sin;(iii) homosexuality is one of the many sins that Scripture has condemned;(iv) some African Christians in Uganda were martyred in the 19th century for refusing to havehomosexual relations with the king because of their faith in the Lord Jesus and their commitmentto stand by the Word of God as expressed in the Bible on the subject;(b) stands on the Biblical authority and accepts that homosexuality is a sin which could only beadopted by the church if it wanted to commit evangelical suicide.Note: This Resolution was put to the Conference in the form of an amendment to Resolution I.10and was defeated.- 10 -

Section I –Call to full HumanityResolution I.11Nuclear WeaponsThis Conference resolves to call upon our respective governments and through our governments,the United Nations and other instruments:(a) to urge all nations to agree by treaty to stop the production, testing, stock-piling and usage ofnuclear weapons; and(b) to press for an international mandate for all member states to prohibit nuclear warfare.Resolution I.12Calling for a Commission on Technology and EthicsThis Conference:(a) calls for consideration to be given to the establishment of a commission through the AnglicanConsultative Council to track technological developments, to reflect on them theologically andethically, and to inform bishops and other church leaders as to what is taking place; and(b) recommends that such a commission does its work and informs the church of it, as far aspossible, through e-mail and Internet conferencing.Resolution I.13LandminesThis Conference - attended both by bishops from nations suffering acutely from the presence oflandmines in their own countries (Mrs. Winifred Ochola wife of the Bishop of Kitgum in Ugandawas killed by a landmine), and by bishops from countries that have profited from the manufactureof landmines:(a) calls upon all signatory Governments to ratify the Ottawa Convention (without exceptions) atthe earliest possible date;(b) calls upon all non-signatory Governments to sign and ratify the Ottawa Convention at theearliest possible date;(c) calls upon all Governments to provide extra funding for mine clearance programmes, and toencourage the development of appropriate technology for mine clearance initiatives; and;(d) calls upon international organisations, all Governments, community level and local Governmentinitiatives, NGOs, Churches and other people of good will, to engage in educational work on thisissue, provide practical assistance to alleviate the consequences of the massive level of previouslandmine deployment, and engage in practical schemes to reintegrate landmine survivors and theirfamilies into their communities.Resolution I.14EuthanasiaIn the light of current debate and proposals for the legalisation of euthanasia in several countries,this Conference:(a) affirms that life is God-given and has intrinsic sanctity, significance and worth;(b) defines euthanasia as the act by which one person intentionally causes or assists in causingthe death of another who is terminally or seriously ill in order to end the other's pain and suffering;- 11 -

Section I –Call to full Humanity(c) resolves that euthanasia, as precisely defined, is neither compatible with the Christian faith norshould be permitted in civil legislation;(d) distinguishes between euthanasia and withholding, withdrawing, declining or terminatingexcessive medical treatment and intervention, all of which may be consonant with Christian faith inenabling a person to die with dignity. When a person is in a permanent vegetative state, to sustainhim or her with artificial nutrition and hydration may be seen as constituting medical intervention;and(e) commends the Section Report on euthanasia as a suitable introduction for study of suchmatters in all Provinces of the Communion.Resolution I.15International Debt and Economic JusticeRecognising the importance and urgency of issues of international debt and economic justice, thisConference adopts the following statement:(a) We see the issues of international debt and economic justice in the light of our belief increation: God has created a world in which we are bound together in a common humanity in whicheach person has equal dignity and value. God has generously given to the nations immenseresources which are to be held in trust and used for the wellbeing of all and also offered us inChrist Jesus liberation from all that which destroys healthy human life - a pattern of giving whichGod desires all to follow. The healthy pattern for relationships is of mutual giving and receiving ofGod's gifts. Borrowing has its place only in as much as it releases growth for human well being.When we ignore this pattern, money becomes a force that destroys human community and God'screation. The vast expansion in the power and quantity of money in recent decades, the hugeincrease in borrowing among rich and poor alike, the damaging material and spiritualconsequences to many, bear testimony to this destructive force.(b) Mindful of the work done by the political leaders, finance ministers, church leaders and peopleof creditor nations, we welcome the framework provided by the historic Heavily Indebted PoorCountry Initiative (HIPC) of 1996. We particularly welcome the approach of bringing all creditorstogether to agree upon debt relief, and the emphasis on debtor participation. We welcomeunilateral initiatives taken by governments to write off loans owed to Overseas DevelopmentDepartments; and initiatives by governments and international financial institutions to strengthenthe capacity of debtor nations to manage debt portfolios, and to co-operate together. We welcomethe commitment by leaders of the eight most powerful economies (the G8) in Birmingham May1998; to consider withholding future taxpayer-subsidised loans intended for arms sales and otherunproductive purposes .(c) While recognising these achievements, we wish to assert that these measures do not as yetprovide sufficient release for the hundreds of millions of people whose governments are divertingscarce resources away from health, education, sanitation and clean water.(d) We have heard and understood the point of view that poverty reduction is more important thandebt cancellation. Nevertheless we conclude that substantial debt relief, including cancellation ofunpayable debts of the poorest nations under an independent, fair and transparent process, is anecessary, while not sufficient precondition for freeing these nations, and their people, from thehopeless downward spiral of poverty. Because indebted nations lose their autonomy tointernational creditors, debt cancellation is also a necessary step if these governments are to begiven the dignity, autonomy and independence essential to the growth and development ofdemocracy. We believe it vital that all of God's people should participate, on the basis of equaldignity, in the fruits of our interdependent world.(e) The need for debt relief for the poorest nations is urgent. Children are dying, and societies areunravelling under the burden of debt. We call for negotiations to be speeded up so that the poorestnations may benefit from such cancellation by the birth of the new millennium. The imagination ofmany, rich and poor alike, has already been gripped by the stark simplicity of this call. Thisresponse can be harnessed for the cause of development.- 12 -

Section I –Call to full Humanity(f) We call on the political, corporate and church leaders and people of creditor nations:to accept equal dignity for debtor nations in negotiations over loan agreements and debt relief;to ensure that the legislatures of lending nations are given the power to scrutinise taxpayersubsidised loans; and to devise methods of regular legislative scrutiny that hold to accountgovernment-financed creditors, including the multilateral financial institutions, for lending decisions;to introduce into the design of international financial systems mechanisms that will imposediscipline on lenders, introduce accountability for bad lending, and challenge corruption effectively,thus preventing future recurrence of debt crises;to introduce measures that will enable debtor nations to trade fairly with creditor nations. Fair tradewill allow debtor nations to develop their domestic economies. This in turn will allow them to paythose debts which remain and to take their rightful place in the community of nations;to ensure that each of the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development)nations honour their commitment to set aside 0.7% of their GNP for international development.(g) We call on political leaders, finance ministers, corporate executives traditional rulers, religiousleaders and the people of debtor nation:to accept independent, fair and transparent procedures for agreeing debt relief;to adopt much greater transparency and accountability in the process of accepting and agreeingnew loans, particularly as the burden of repayment of these loans will fall largely on the poorest;ensuring proper scrutiny by legislative bodies of each loan contract signed by governmentministers;to adopt measures for disciplining elected and paid government officials who corruptly divert publicfunds and also to provide for sanctions against private sector persons and bodies who actcorruptly;to adopt measures for ensuring that additional resources generated from debt
