[canada.com] 21 June 2007--Two of the country's largest Protestant denominations are gathering in Winnipeg for the next three days to decide how far to go in sanctioning homosexual relationships.

The Anglican Church and the Evangelical Lutheran Church, which together count almost one million members in Canada, will be debating pro-homosexual proposals that are anathema to many of their denominations' conservative adherents in Canada and especially in Africa, where the denomination is expanding rapidly.

Issues concerning gay and lesbian rights and sexuality have been the most public -- and globally divisive -- in the Anglican Church.
