Anglican global network will fight for 'orthodox faith'
Jerusalem (ENI). About 1000 Anglican leaders meeting in Jerusalem have set
up a new global network to ward off what they say is a breach of traditional
biblical Anglicanism but have stopped short of announcing a total break with
the worldwide Anglican Communion. In a final statement issued at the end of
the 22-29 June Global Anglican Future Conference, or GAFCON, participants
said that, "A major realignment has occurred and will continue to unfold"
within Anglicanism. A group of archbishops and bishops mainly from Africa
and Australia convened GAFCON. This followed a clash within the
77-million-strong Anglican Communion triggered in 2003, when the US
Episcopal (Anglican) Church consecrated V. Gene Robinson, an openly gay
divorced father, as a bishop in the US state of New Hampshire. [816 words,

Anglicans must be rescued from 'apostates' says Akinola
Jerusalem (ENI). The worldwide Anglican Communion, embroiled in a
long-running controversy about homosexuality, needs to be rescued from
"apostates", Nigerian Archbishop Peter Akinola has told 1000 Anglican
leaders meeting in Jerusalem. "Our beloved Anglican Communion must be
rescued from the manipulation of those who have denied the gospel and its
power to transform and save, those who have departed from the scripture and
the faith," Akinola said at the opening of the Global Anglican Future
Conference, or GAFCON. The standoff in the 77-million-strong Anglican
Communion was triggered in 2003 after the US Episcopal (Anglican) Church
consecrated V. Gene Robinson, an openly gay divorced father, as a bishop in
the US state of New Hampshire. [458 words, ENI-08-0493]

Anglicans who oppose gay bishops meet in Jerusalem
Jerusalem (ENI). More than 1000 senior leaders of the Anglican Communion,
including about 280 bishops from Africa, Latin America and Asia, who oppose
the ordination of homosexuals are preparing for a summit meeting in
Jerusalem. Many of the church leaders attending the 22-29 June meeting are
from the global South, and have said they will boycott the next 10-yearly
Lambeth Conference in England due to begin on 16 July. One of the root
causes of the disagreement is a long running controversy relating to
same-sex blessings and the consecration of a gay bishop in the United
States. [564 words, ENI-08-0489]

Female bishops 'further obstacle' to unity says Australian bishop
Melbourne (ENI). The consecration of two female bishops in Australia's
Anglican church has placed the spotlight on the implications of these
developments for the promotion of unity between Anglicans and Roman
Catholics. An Australian Catholic bishop has said the consecration in May of
the two women - Kay Goldsworthy in Perth, and Barbara Darling in Melbourne -
will increase obstacles to unity and reconciliation. In June 2006, the
Vatican's top official for Christian unity, Cardinal Walter Kasper, told
(Anglican) Church of England bishops that a decision to ordain women bishops
would threaten the unity of Anglican bishops, and make full union with the
Catholic Church "disappear into the far and ultimately unreachable
distance". [421 words, ENI-08-0485]

Bishop of London to investigate 'gay blessing' service
London (ENI). An investigation has been launched by the bishop of London
into a ceremony in which two gay Anglican clerics in a civil partnership
exchanged rings and vows and used a version of a Church of England marriage
service. "Services of public blessing for civil partnerships are not
authorised in the Church of England," said Bishop Richard Chartres after it
emerged on 15 June that the service had taken place in a London church on 31
May. [495 words, ENI-08-0475]
