[Anglican Journal] 25 Mar 2008--In February, 10 churches in five dioceses voted to leave the Anglican Church of Canada and affiliate with a South American Anglican church, in an ongoing dispute over Christian fundamentals, including Canada’s more-liberal stance on homosexuality.

The churches said they were seeking episcopal oversight from retired bishop Donald Harvey, who is moderator of the Anglican Network in Canada, a conservative group. They now consider Archbishop Gregory Venables of the Province of the Southern Cone their primate (national archbishop); his church includes most of southern South America.
