[CBC News] 20 June 2007--Anglicans gathering in Winnipeg on Tuesday are facing a deeply divisive decision — the vote on whether their church should bless gay unions.

The same-sex topic is expected to dominate this year's general synod for the Anglican Church of Canada, with delegates opposing the motion, saying the outcome could threaten Canada's place in the international church.

Most of the world's Anglican churches have openly opposed sanctifying same-sex marriage, arguing that such a blessing defies scripture.
