[Wales Online] 18 Sep 2008--Archbishop of Wales Barry Morgan today warned any attempt to find a quick-fix solution to issues dividing the 80 million-member Anglican Communion will “end in tears”.

He told the Church in Wales’ Governing Body in Lampeter that:

- Sexuality should not be a Communion-breaking issue;

- Churches must not be required to sign-up to a new set of binding beliefs;

- The church has clamped down on homosexuality but not on heterosexual sex outside marriage.

Dr Morgan said that while there was a focus on homosexuality “most people who come to be married in Anglican churches in Britain live together beforehand”.
