[Guardian] 21 Jul 2008--The day began with a number of English bishops attending services elsewhere, and some overseas archbishops refusing to take holy communion in solidarity with the 230 churchmen who snubbed Williams' invitation.
But the 90-minute sermon confirmed the liberal direction of the Anglican Communion and was the strongest sign yet that the US Episcopal Church would not be punished for consecrating Robinson.
The liberal tone of the sermon, and its insistence on inclusivity and equality, upset some in the pews as did the more multicultural, politically correct aspects of the service.
The Right Rev Bob Duncan, the Bishop of Pittsburgh, could be deposed because he is unhappy with the progressive agenda pursued by the US Episcopal Church. He told the Guardian: "You cannot have unity at any price. The obvious divisions are there. When a family is broken it's because the family has no boundaries. To have a Buddhist chant at an Anglican sermon does not reflect the God we believe in."
