From The Telegraph-The Scottish Episcopal Church is likely to face "consequences" for its vote to allow same-sex marriage, the Daily Telegraph understands.
Next week Anglican leaders will decide how to respond to the church's vote to change its Canon on Marriage to remove the definition that marriage is between a man and a woman.
The most likely outcome is that they will decide to restrict the organisation from representing the group at interfaith meetings and from voting on decisions about policy or teaching.
The measures, which are effectively sanctions, would restrict the church from taking part in these key roles for three years.
