[The Toronto Star] 22 Jul 2006--After the U.S. church's general convention held in Columbus, Ohio, last month, it may well take direct divine intervention to save the 77-million-member communion of 38 national or regional churches from disintegrating.

Rather than mollifying conservatives, the convention further widened the liberal-conservative divide over homosexuality, intensified the invective, and strengthened the possibility of a full-blown schism.
