Here is the article from Nashville Public Radio on 11/25 that has an
interview with Becca Stevens and John Bauerschmidt. It also has the text of
his resolution.
http://nashvillepublicradio.org/post/leader-episcopal-church-middle-tennessee-says-priests-cant-perform-same-sex-marriages
This is what he sent to the parishes:
Letter Sent To Middle Tennessee Clergy
The diocese sent the following to church leaders in the area.
"The liturgies for marriage and the blessing of a civil marriage available
for use in the Diocese of Tennessee are those in the 1979 Book of Common
Prayer. These liturgies must be used unaltered and in accordance with the
rubrical directions.
"Use of the Trial Liturgies for Marriage (authorized by the 2015 General
Convention Resolution A054), in whole or in part, is not permitted in the
Diocese of Tennessee. The Trial Liturgies may not be used on the property
of any parish, mission, chapel, or mission station of the diocese.
"Clergy canonically resident in the diocese are not permitted to officiate
at marriages using these liturgies, including adaptations for the blessing
of a civil marriage.
"Clergy serving under license in the diocese may not officiate at marriages
in the diocese using these liturgies, including adaptations for the
blessing of a civil marriage.
"In accordance with Resolution A054, clergy of the diocese are directed to
respond pastorally to those who desire to have access to these Trial
Liturgies for their marriages, and to assist them in securing this access.
The Bishop of the Diocese of Kentucky has indicated that clergy of that
diocese are prepared to assist couples who desire access to these
liturgies."
