The fierce battle within the Anglican Church over homosexual clergy and same-sex marriage has brought the Canadian and American branches of the faith to the brink of banishment by the Church’s ruling bodies meeting in England.
[…] Yesterday the Consultative Council rejected the North American rationale for homosexual participation in Church affairs and voted to banish both Canada and the U.S. from the council and its central finance and standing committees.
A watered down resolution that stopped short of demanding North American banishment from all Church bodies, requested “that the Episcopal Church [U.S.] and the Anglican Church of Canada withdraw their members from the council’s standing committee and the inter-Anglican finance and administration committee.”
The resolution passed 30-28 in a secret ballot, with four abstentions, behind the closed doors of the council’s session at the University of Nottingham.
Although somewhat milder than the original version, The Times of London noted “it amounts in effect to a punishing expulsion.”
