[Globeand Mail] 17 Apr 2007-- The spiritual head of the world's 77 million Anglicans said today his church is sapped by questions of sex and may well face irreconcilable differences over acceptance of homosexuality that could lead to its break up.

Dr. Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury, also told a press conference in Toronto that if Canadian Anglicans vote in two months time to authorize church blessing of same-sex unions, “I don't think it takes rocket science to work out that this will cause problems.”

He urged Canadian Anglicans to ask themselves when they come to decide on the issue what is good for the health of the church locally and globally.
