[The Church of England Newspaper] October 21, 2005--A new Global Center has been proposed to bridge the gap between the Global South coalition and the Episcopal Church. But sources say this has been craftily engineered to reveal the extent to which the Southern Cone is divided between the South American liberals and the more conservative Central Americans. The Bishops of Province IX (ECUSA), Central and South America have proposed the new creation following a meeting in Panama City of the Latin American & Caribbean Theological Education Commission (CETALC). The 26 bishops in favour of the move declared they had grown increasingly disillusioned with the ‘polarisation’ of the Global South and the Global North. They thought as people were left to ‘opt for one of these poles’, the unity of the Communion was at risk.
