[The Herald] February 22, 2005--This week in the douce and closed environs of a retreat near Newry in Northern Ireland, Dr Rowan Williams, leader of the world's 77 million Anglicans, has a stark and incredibly difficult task. It is simply to prevent the worldwide Anglican Church imploding. The warring factions are lined up with the liberals in the churches of Canada and the US and the conservatives based for the most part in Africa and Asia. The catalyst for the visceral fury consuming the Anglican Church was the consecration of Gene Robinson, an openly gay cleric with a live-in lover, as Bishop of New Hampshire in the US.
