From the BBC
A traditionalist Anglican group has insisted at its launch conference that it is not poised to break away from the Church of England.
The Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans of UK and Ireland will campaign against active homosexuality in the Church.
Its leaders told the conference in London that liberal moves had brought "heartache" and "real problems".
Bishop of Lewes the Rt Rev Wallace Benn said he wanted "to pull people back" rather than breaking away.

Addressing the conference, he said: "We are trying to pull back together people whose Anglican identity has been made difficult or who find that it is threatened."
He added: "We are trying to stop the Church from being divided by moving back to the core of our faith, the historic Christian faith.
"Sadly in the western world...the British Isles and Ireland are moving away and where bishops do that, there is particular unhappiness in some dioceses and it causes real problems and real heartaches for people and for churches.
"We want to stand with people and support them and say you don't have to go away, we will support you and stand with you."
