Anglicans sanction Scottish Episcopal Church over same-sex marriage

From The BBC-

The Scottish Episcopal Church is to be excluded from ecumenical and leadership roles in the Anglican Communion, the Archbishop of Canterbury has said.

The decision follows the SEC's vote to begin marrying same-sex couples.


The Most Rev Justin Welby set out the decision in a news conference mid-way through a week-long meeting of Anglican primates in Canterbury.


He said: "There were a lot of expressions of disappointment, strong feelings from many of the provinces."


The archbishop said the consequences were agreed unanimously. He said he felt "very sad" about the decision.
