[The Washington Post] 21 Sep 2007--The Archbishop of Canterbury, the head of the Anglican Communion, made a rare visit yesterday to a meeting of Episcopal bishops to urge them to compromise in the face of international pressure over their approval of same-sex unions and gay clergy.
The appearance of Archbishop Rowan Williams yesterday and today in New Orleans at the biannual bishops' meeting of the Episcopal Church, the Communion's U.S. branch, underscores the gravity of the confrontation between worldwide Anglican leaders and bishops. The bishops are discussing "requests" the leaders made in February that the U.S. church backtrack from its increasing acceptance of gays and lesbians. A response was requested by Sept. 30.
The meeting began yesterday and ends Tuesday.
