[Reuters] 6 Feb 2008--The Anglican Archbishop trying to mediate between warring liberal and conservative clergy believes schism can be avoided in the deeply divided church over gay priests.

"My cup is half full as opposed to half empty," said Archbishop of the West Indies Drexel Gomez, heading a group of clerics who hope they can end the bitter battle of words with a formula aimed at placating both sides.

But he conceded that he did not expect 100 percent attendance at the Lambeth Conference -- the summit of Anglican leaders that is held every ten years in Britain.

Placate both sides?!
