The Anglican Communion's Argument Over Homosexuality

http://www.pbs.org/wnet/religionandethics/week707/commentary.html

[Religion & Ethics News Weekly] 13 Sep 2007--The argument over homosexuality in the Anglican Church has revealed a crisis of identity and governance that is not easily resolved. It may well be that the Anglican Communion now has to choose between being an international church ultimately guided by a council of bishops or the loose alliance of national churches which it has been hitherto. In many ways the former development makes theological sense, since the church should never be a purely national body. If something more like a conciliar magisterium emerged in the future, this would be a gain out of a dire crisis.
