Canadian Primate: Communion Headed Toward Schism

http://www.livingchurch.org/publishertlc/viewarticle.asp?ID=3177

[The Living Church] 11 Apr 2007--Canadian Archbishop Andrew Hutchison said the Anglican Communion is headed for schism and blamed the Archbishop of Canterbury for not being more decisive at critical moments.

The remarks come less than a week before Archbishop Rowan Williams is scheduled to make his first official visit to Canada since assuming the See of Canterbury in 2002. On April 17, Archbishop Williams will lead a retreat for members of the Canadian House of Bishops gathered for their spring retreat at the Mount Carmel Retreat Centre in Niagara Falls, Ont.

Although the stated purpose of the visit is prayer and the study of scripture, it is expected there will be several informal opportunities for private consultation.
