[The Church of England Newspaper] March 10, 2006--Hopes that the Archbishop of Canterbury’s Panel of Reference can find a way through the fractious dispute over homosexuality are fading.Canadian traditionalists this week accused the Panel’s staff of bias and bureaucratic delay. Cheryl Chang, Executive Director of the Anglican Network in Canada [ANiC] told The Church of England Newspaper that the failure to provide safeguards for petitioners seeking alternative episcopal oversight, “is discouraging to parishes who are trying to work in the process called for by the Primates and established” by Archbishop Rowan Williams.
