[Reuters] May 20, 2005--Anglican troubleshooter Robin Eames issued a warning on Friday to churchmen squabbling over the issue of gay bishops -- the ingredients are there for schism.

Cultural differences may exist between Africa and North America but these cultural differences do not justify the ordination of non-celibate homosexual clergy and the blessing of homosexual unions. Homosexual practice - as the bishops of the Anglican Communion rightly pointed out at the 1998 Lambeth Bishops Conference - is inconsistant with the teaching of the Bible.
