Rebel summit could herald Anglican schism
2008-01-14
Conservative Anglican leaders are to stage a breakaway summit in Jerusalem that could irretrievably fracture the 400-year-old church over a dispute with liberal clergy about homosexuality.

The timing could not be worse for Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, who is struggling to maintain unity among the world's 77 million Anglicans over the issue.

The clergy, headed by Nigerian Archbishop Peter Akinola, are due to meet in Jerusalem six weeks before July's Lambeth Conference in Britain -- the 10-yearly gathering of all Anglican leaders.

#3  over a dispute with liberal clergy about homosexuality.

This is not a dispute about homosexuality, it is a dispute about far more than that. The homosexuality issue is not the cause, but the symptom of the greater issues between the churches.

#2  "I do see it breaking up," he said, contemplating the future of a church which, unlike the regimented hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church, is run by broad consensus with Williams as first-among-equals.

Queen Elizabeth II is Supreme Governor of the Church of England. It is time she started to exercise her authority.
