[Reuters] 22 Nov 2007--A second retired bishop with conservative views left the Anglican Church of Canada on Thursday over its position on homosexuality and will serve in Canada under the authority of the more orthodox archbishop in Argentina.
"My heart yearns for revival in Canada and in Anglicanism but I have lost hope for reformation within the Anglican Church of Canada," Bishop Malcolm Harding, who had served in Manitoba, said in a statement.
"I now realize that we cannot have unity at the expense of truth. I cannot in conscience travel the path that the Anglican Church of Canada is traveling, away from historic Christian teaching and established Anglican practice."
He will help represent Western Canada under Bishop Don Harvey, who announced last Friday he would come out of retirement to offer oversight to conservative Canadian Anglicans under Gregory Venables, archbishop of the Anglican Church of the Southern Cone of the Americas.
