Meeting Held on Anglican-Episcopal Split

[Associated Press] 21 Sep 2007--Canon James Rosenthal, a spokesman for Williams, said that in the first few hours of the meeting alone, about 25 of the more than 100 participating bishops had a chance to discuss their concerns directly with the archbishop.

Williams, 57, was enthroned as archbishop of Canterbury in 2003 with a record of some support for gay priests. But as leader of the entire communion, he has operated with the understanding that most Anglicans believe the Bible bars gay relationships.

He recently told Time magazine he found it "bizarre and puzzling" that Episcopalians consecrated a bishop who is "living in a relationship not theologically officially approved by the church."

Bizarre and puzzling is an understatement!
