[Telegraph] 28.06.08--Orthodox Anglicans who are creating a new movement at a breakaway summit in Jerusalem have said they feel "betrayal and abandonment" at the current church structure.

The 1,000 conservatives at the Gafcon conference say they feel "profound sadness" that the worldwide Anglican Communion has been driven to the brink of schism by liberals in America and Canada departing from traditional church teaching, particularly over sexuality.

They are working on a statement which shows how they think the church must proceed, which involves faithfulness to the Scripture and an end to "innovations" such as the ordination of homosexual clergy.

They are also developing a "church within a church" which will cater for Anglicans who do not want to be under the leadership of liberal bishops.
