Clergy asked to renew licences over same-sex unions

[The Globe and Mail] 23 Jan 2008--An Anglican diocese in Newfoundland will take the rare step today of requiring all of its clergy to declare their allegiances to the church, or "do the honourable thing and resign" if they support a breakaway movement that opposes same-sex unions.

In a letter written to clergy last month, the bishop of the Diocese of Eastern Newfoundland and Labrador asks them to attend a mandatory meeting in St. John's to renew their licences, a move the diocese has not taken in at least 20 years.
