The Inter-American Division's own contemporaneous report on the 60th General Conference Session, San Antonio, Texas, 2 to 11 July 2015, at which delegates revised Fundamental Belief 23 to change the word "partners" to "a man and a woman," explaining that "the meaning of the word 'partners' with reference to marriage has changed in social usage to indicate a commitment to either same sex or opposite sex marriages," a meaning "not prevalent in 1980 when the statement was last revised."
