[3news.co.nz] 4 Aug 2008--A New Zealand bishop at the Anglican Church's Lambeth Conference has denounced it as an "exercise in futility".

The conference which is held only once every 10 years ended with both sides in the battle over homosexuality refusing to compromise.

The Rt Reverend Richard Ellena, Bishop of Nelson, branded the 20-day meeting, which cost $NZ13.7 million to stage and which is facing a $5.4m shortfall, as a waste of time and money, The Telegraph website reported.
