Archbishop of Canterbury calls on Americans to block lesbian bishop's appointment

The Archbishop of Canterbury today called on American Anglicans to block the appointment of a lesbian bishop.

Dr Rowan Williams warned that the selection of a new homosexual bishop could push the divided Anglicans over the edge into full-blown schism.

The Archbishop spoke out after leaders of the Church of England’s sister church in Los Angeles chose 55-year-old Reverend Mary Glasspool as an assistant bishop.

He said the choice raised ‘serious questions’ and warned it was a threat to the ‘bonds’ that tie 77million Anglicans together.

    The headline can’t be right. The ABC gave up the fight years ago. 1 and 2 are exactly correct.

    This is really funny. The ABC wants Americans to do what he won’t?
    Wow, what nerve.

    The Mail wins the “Spin of the Day” award. They’re looking at the same statement we are, and have come up with a quite creative spin on it. It would be plausible, too, if you’ve just spent the last seven years in a cave.
