[The Christian Post] February 23, 2005--Before fully delving into the meat of their weeklong gathering, the 35 top members of the Anglican Communion attended a worship service presided over by the Archbishop of Canterbury, on Tuesday, Feb. 22, 2005. The core of the Primates’ gathering in Northern Ireland is the controversial debate over the compatibility of homosexuality and the church. Throughout the meeting, conservative Anglican leaders from Africa will face the liberal leaders from the Episcopal Church USA, whose unilateral decision to consecrate an active homosexual bishop drove the worldwide church body into a flurry of divisive debates, criticisms and threats.
