<DIV>We have said that our aim is to get a synod with a 2/3 majority for
inclusive issues.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Are we intending to achieve that by the same means as the conservatives? –
eg “I support traditional marriage” meaning in fact it is so good LGBT
people should be able to benefit from it too! Or is our aim for a
representative synod on the assumption that that will be more inclusive?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The reason that I ask is that if our aim is the second then I think we have
a second string to our bow which is to develop a series of carefully worded
questions and encourage all those standing for synod to provide answers on their
manifestos. If we can gain support for this from a number of organisations
across the spectrum then those who refuse to answer will stand out like a sore
thumb. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This second string would also be a campaign which matches the Covenant
profile better – who could think that a more representative synod is a bad
thing, and we would quite probably get widespread support. It would also
make it easier to tell our supporters which answers to look for.</DIV>
