TWO CHURCH OF ENGLAND DIOCESES VOTE THE ANGLICAN COVENANT DOWN

According to Simon at Thinking Anglicans, here and here, the Dioceses of Birmingham and Truro in the Church of England voted down the Anglican Covenant. The votes bring the total to four dioceses in England that have voted against the covenant. 23 dioceses, 50%, must vote FOR the covenant, or it dies.

Earlier, the Dioceses of Wakefield and St Edmundsbury & Ipswich voted against the covenant.

The Dioceses of Lichfield and Durham voted in favor of the covenant.
