The Scottish and Mexican leaders were expected to voice the view that gay people should live a fully equal life within the church.<\/p>\n
But the Dean of Manchester Cathedral, The Very Rev Rogers Govender, said they were not so explicit.<\/p>\n
He said: “It was a very good conference, very positive with about 50 people here and the two speakers were both very well received, it was a very positive experience.<\/p>\n
“No specific calls were made at all.<\/p>\n
“The conference was about issues of Anglican diversity and what they said -and others said in the course of the day – is that the Anglican church is historically diverse and makes room for people of different persuasions.<\/p>\n
“At this critical time we need to reclaim that ground and make sure we put in our views on retaining that ethos which is essentially Anglican – rather than having extreme views on either side of the debate.”<\/p>\n
