On Tuesday morning I visited the House of Bishops for their session. It's a smaller, nicer, quieter room, as you might expect in space for 100+ as opposed to the HOD and room for 800+.
The Bishop of the Dominican Republic noted that they always sing in English, and proceeded to lead the bishops in a Spanish song.
Debate is civil and respectful. One of the major items was a resolution allowing for generous pastoral response to the needs of same sex couples, especially in states that have legalized same sex marriage. Things got held up for an amendment to be copied for all to read, so I didn't get to see the result.
