London: The worldwide Anglican church is heading for a new rupture over homosexuality, following the painfully achieved compromise reached by its archbishops in Northern Ireland last week, after it was disclosed that the leader of the primates' conservative faction defied the agreement within hours in order to address traditionalist parishes in Canada.

Meanwhile, in contrast to the archbishops' statement that they had met in Northern Ireland with "a generosity of spirit ... Christian charity and abundant goodwill", one of the leaders at the meeting said it had instead taken place in an atmosphere of rancour and mutual hostility, with Dr Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury, being treated with contempt by the conservative faction.

The primate, who is not normally noted as a liberal, was speaking on condition of anonymity. ...

Funny. I thought David Virtue had said somewhere that it was Griswold who had fought with Rowan Williams and called him 'an ineffective leader'.

liberals = sore losers

“During our days of discussion in Northern Ireland there was no negative reference to the Anglican Mission. The AMiA is a previously established intervention for the sake of the Gospel in response to the ongoing crisis within the American branch of Anglicanism and the country’s tremendous need for evangelism and spiritual healing. The AMiA remains a missionary outreach of the Province of Rwanda as a Great Commission work, and is not a new initiative. This was clearly acknowledged during the Primates’ meetings and by the growing support of our fellow Primates."
