[The Living Church] 8 Sep 2008--After taking the summer to reflect, Archbishop Terrence Buckle, Metropolitan of British Columbia and Bishop of the Yukon in the Anglican Church of Canada, has changed his mind and will not retire at the end of the year as previously announced.

In May, members of the Diocese of the Yukon failed to elect a successor to Archbishop Buckle during a special electing convention. None of the five candidates was able to achieve the required simple majority in each of the two houses of clergy and laity as well as an overall two-thirds majority.
