Herewith the BBC Blurb:
This weekend the talking starts in earnest at the Lambeth Conference, the global meeting of the Anglican church that takes place once every ten years.
This year’s event is being overshadowed by fears of a split in the church – between liberals who support the ordination of openly gay bishops and clergy, and more traditionalist leaders who say that homosexuality is fundamentally a sin.
Ed Butler examines the theological basis for the rift in the Anglican Communion.
.
Among those heard from are Wallace Benn, Gene Robinson, Benjamin Nzimbi, Graham Kings, Colin Coward and Theo Hobson (Gene Robinson is most unhelpfully referred to as from the see city of “Boston” which will come as news to the diocese of New Hampshire).

Oh… and in the listening:
