It all adds up to the same kick to the curb. This is exactly what Alison drives at in the Tablet piece cited above by Victor Victoria:

"It is just conceivable that enough synod participants realised that there is no way to communicate current teaching mercifully, or with less hateful language – maybe because that teaching’s premise of the objectively disordered nature of the “homosexual inclination” is actually false? ... I suspect there was enough of a recognition that there is no genuine way out of the impasse without raising a question of doctrine ... For the first time in my memory, the bishops seem to have faced up to having a genuine problem on their hands that is their problem, not that of LGBT people, and no apparent way out of it without help."
