[Christianity Today UK] 1 Oct 2007--Conservative members of the 77 million-member worldwide Anglican Communion will this week demand that the Archbishop of Canterbury disown the US arm of the Church over the gay controversy.

Reform, a UK evangelical group representing around 1,000 parishes, is reportedly to send a letter to Dr Rowan Williams urging him to openly oppose the homosexual stance of the US Episcopal Church.

The letter will warn that a failure to take a firm stand will split the Church of England and demands that the US Church be prohibited from joining the Communion’s annual gathering of bishops.
