Archbishop Venables offers haven to US conservatives

[EV News] 8 Nov 2007--The Daily Telegraph reports today that Archbishop Gregory Venables is to allow conservative dioceses that are defecting from the US Episcopal Church to join his South American province.

The British-born Archbishop, who is the Primate of the Province of the Southern Cone, told the Telegraph: "This is a pivotal moment in the history of the Anglican Communion."

"The new realignment demonstrates the depths of the divisions that already exist. Dr Williams appears to want to keep the Communion together at all costs, but Gospel truth should never be sacrificed for structural unity."

"Conservatives in America and elsewhere cannot wait in limbo any longer. They need a safe haven now."
