[Telegraph] 6 Feb 2009--Professional mediators are to be used by church leaders in an attempt to resolve the deep divisions within the Anglican Communion over sexuality.
A report backed by the heads of all the Anglican provinces around the world has put forward the innovative proposal as a way to settle the dispute between conservatives, who oppose the ordination of homosexual clergy and the blessing of same-sex unions, and liberals.
The external mediators will try to reconcile differences between the Common Cause Partnership, a group of orthodox Anglicans in America and Canada who want to set up a new province, and the national churches from which they have split.
