[EV News] 26 Nov 2008--The Times reports that the South American Province of the Southern Cone, a conservative province, faces “punishment” this week for offering a safe haven to U.S. conservatives.
According to the Times, this week’s meeting of the joint standing committee of the Primates and the Anglican Consultative Council, which includes Rowan Williams and Katharine Jefferts Schori and is chaired by John Paterson of New Zealand, will consider suspending the Anglican church in South America for allowing four US dioceses to realign with it after leaving the US Episcopal church.
The penalty being considered against the Southern Cone for sheltering the four U.S. dioceses, includes the removal of voting rights at the forthcoming meeting of the Anglican Consultative Council, the central governing body of the Anglican Communion, in Jamaica next May.
