The top leaders in the worldwide Anglican Communion are to meet this
month in Ireland, where conservative leaders within the church hope
strong disciplinary action will be taken against the Canadian and U.S.
churches for their support of homosexuality.
Congregations in North America have been steadily leaving the 70 million-member communion since 2003, when the diocese of New Westminster in Vancouver, B.C., sanctioned the blessing of same-sex unions and the head of the Episcopal Church USA consecrated V. Gene Robinson, an openly gay man, as bishop of New Hampshire.
