[Parksville Qualicum News] 7 July 2007--The issue of whether to bless same sex marriages is threatening to break up the Anglican Church in Canada, and to Rev. Andrew Twiddy, that might not be an entirely bad thing.

Twiddy, who preaches at the parish of St. Anne and St. Edmund in Parksville, said if the conservative and progressive elements in the church continue to fight over the divisive issue, he can see a split coming.

“I think a split is a possibility,” he said. “We are in a very fragile state and yes, we may do this. However, I think it might be better for us to have a spiritual divorce, if you like. Maybe it’s better to have two ways to be Anglican in this world.”
