[BBC News] 30 Aug 2007--Kenya's Anglican Church has consecrated two US bishops in a move likely to deepen a bitter row over homosexuality. Bill Murdoch, of Massachusetts, and Bill Atwood, of Texas, will be answerable to the Kenyan Church, although they will serve in the US. They left the US branch of the Anglican Church - the Episcopal Church - after it consecrated an openly gay bishop. There are growing tensions within the Anglican denomination around the world, mainly over the issue of homosexuality.
