[The Religion Report] March 2, 2005--The slow-motion collapse of the worldwide Anglican Communion continues, with the US Episcopal Church being asked to withdraw for three years from a key governing council, in the hope of avoiding a rupture over homosexuality.

Primate Peter Carnley has declared the bishop's consecration unacceptable, and his licence to minister within the Anglican Communion has been suspended. Also: a film exploring the world of ecstatic dance is about to make its Australian television debut
