General Convention 2009 (GC09) Resolution C056, "Liturgies for Blessings," called for the SCLM to gather and develop theological and liturgical resources for the blessing of same gender relationships. As a result, an online resource area was developed, in partnership with the Archives of the Episcopal Church.
The materials are presented in the four categories:
Diocesan Resources;
Liturgy and Worship;
Church-Wide Resources; and
Work of the Commission.
Additionally, the resources prepared as a result of the Church-Wide Consultation in March in Atlanta are available in English and in Spanish. According to the website:

only. The Episcopal Church welcomes all who worship Jesus Christ in 109 dioceses
and three regional areas in 16 nations. The Episcopal Church is a member
province of the worldwide Anglican Communion.

Not much really new here in terms of resources. Big splash for not a lot.
The important thing about this is it's the beginning of what will be increasingly populated searchable archives that will give folks access to a whole variety of resources and background materials over-and-above whatever gets commended out by the SCLM for approval in Indianapolis.
Our submissions have not made it to the archive yet so I hope/expect this will continue to grow.
