[BBC News] 23 Jun 2008--Conservative Anglican leaders have opened talks in Jerusalem on the future of the Church with criticism of its leader, the Archbishop of Canterbury.

The Archbishops of Nigeria and Uganda attacked his failure to discipline the US Episcopal Church for consecrating an openly gay bishop in 2003.

The 300 bishops are meeting to discuss the future of the worldwide Anglican Communion, amid fears of a split.

Many of them say liberals are rewriting the Bible to fit modern trends.

"The Communion is in a state of brokenness," said Nigerian Archbishop Peter Akinola at the opening of the Global Anglican Future Conference (Gafcon), which brings together conservative Anglican leaders, many from developing countries.
