"The Anglican Communion now has a basis for going forward together," he said in a statement on Tuesday.

He was commenting on a recent pledge by bishops of the USA's Episcopal Church to neither authorise services to bless same-sex marriages nor to consecrate bishops unacceptable to the world-wide Anglican church.

The pledge followed threats of schism in the worldwide church after Gene Robinson, a gay man living with his partner, was made bishop in the USA in 2003.
I believe the Episcopal Church in the US has agreed to fall in line with their brethren worldwide by not electing any more homosexual Bishops nor blessing homosexual "marriages".

However, a couple of rebel offshoots in CA and Montreal have apparently decided to flout the Bible teachings and head off in their own direction.
