Groucho,

If you've read Gary Patterson's excellent explorations on this topic in the past you would know that you've got it backward: the church has NOT voted to not ordain women, it simply has not voted to approve proposals which would have prohibited it. As he and others have detailed, the current effort to prohibit the ordination of women is driven by church leaders in Divisions where it is socially unacceptable. The failure of their effort at the last General Conference session and the rising opposition to them that has followed led to their alternate effort at Annual Council.
