Conservative Judaism's Rabbinical Assembly has announced that a key panel has "upheld the biblical injunction against homosexual behavior" -- at least for now.

The Committee on Jewish Law and Standards, which sets policy on application of halakha (Jewish law), kept in place a 1992 ruling against both ordination of openly gay rabbis and commitment ceremonies for same-sex couples.

The statement said committee members are divided and that their "lively debate" will continue over coming months. The committee, which has discussed the gay issue for two years, met last week near Baltimore.
