[TitusOneNine] 03 Aug 2007--Poised to fracture over the thorny issue of institutional loyalty towards the Episcopal Church, the Anglican Communion Network (ACN) emerged from its annual council meeting with a degree of unanimity and confidence not seen since the aftermath of the Gene Robinson consecration in 2003.

As the Sept 30 deadline for the US House of Bishops to respond to the Dar es Salaam communiqué approaches, the ACN voted not to take precipitous action and to wait upon the direction of the Primates of the Anglican Communion.

The Presiding Bishop of the Southern Cone, Gregory Venables challenged the delegates ‘not to hold back’ challenging them to choose between a ‘Christian church or a comfortable church.’

He said he had ‘dealt eyeball to eyeball’ with the leaders of the American church and had ‘no illusions’ left. But encouraged their resolve saying, “It ain’t us who left it. We are the Anglicans.”
