International body will respect Canadian decision

[Anglican Journal] May 5, 2005--The Anglican Consultative Council will respect any decision reached by the Council of General Synod (CoGS) at its meeting later this week (May 6 to 8), said a senior Anglican Communion official on a recent visit to Canada. CoGS will vote on a request made by primates of the Anglican Communion for the Canadian church to temporarily withdraw its representatives to a Council meeting scheduled in Nottingham next month.

Statements like Canon Kenneth Kearon's with its reference to the "listening process"leave the false impression that the issue of homosexual practice in the Anglican Communion remains open to discussion, that the resolution adopted 1998 Lambeth Conference declaring homosexual practice incompatible with Holy Scripture is not the last word on the matter. They can only exarcebate the present crisis in the Anglican Communion and lead to its dissolution.
