[The Times-Picayune] 19 Sep 2007--American bishops on both sides of the sexuality question seemed to form a strong consensus against the foreign primates' proposal to create their own leadership structures inside the American church, an idea widely viewed as a violation of each church's autonomy.
In recent months, however, to the dismay of Williams and most Episcopal bishops, Akinola and other African bishops have begun ordaining their own new conservative American bishops inside the Episcopal church, effectively creating an embryonic structure for conservatives under their own oversight.
The bishops' schedule calls for closed-door meetings with Williams all day Thursday and Friday morning. First among the Episcopal bishops will be Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori, a defender of faithful gays and lesbians, who was elected last summer.
