[BBC News] 14 Jul 2008--A leading Church of Ireland bishop may boycott Communion at the Lambeth Conference in solidarity with those who are refusing to attend.

A quarter of the 880 bishops invited have refused to attend the worldwide Anglican bishops' conference.

Their refusal is a protest at the presence of church-leaders who ordained gay bishop in the US in 2003.
