Anglican unity in 'grave peril' if gay bans not enforced, Williams says

The Christian Century weighs in with an article about Lambeth and the proposed moratoria.

"The spiritual leader of the communion said it will be in "grave peril" if North American churches ignore temporary bans on the ordination of gay bishops and the consecration of same-sex unions. "If the North American churches don't accept moratoria" on gay bishops and blessings, Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams told reporters August 3, "as a communion we are going to continue to be in grave peril." The archbishop also said conservative archbishops from the global South must stop transgressing traditional geographic boundaries and seeking to adopt like-minded parishes in the U.S. and Canada."
