From Bermuda-
A group of conservative Anglicans held a conference in Bermuda to discuss their disapproval of lesbian bishop.
And sources said many local clergymen did not attend the meetings.
The meetings took place April 5 to 9 where the group criticised the Episcopal church for the election of a "partnered lesbian", Rev. Mary Glasspool, as a bishop in Los Angeles. The group also decided on the new leadership for the Global Anglican Future Conference/Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans Primates Council.
While there were public meetings, this newspaper understands discussions of Rev. Glasspool were held in private.
Rev. Canon James Francis said he didn't attend because he doesn't agree with the council.
"They are a religious group and they decided to form their own coalition and therefore they have the right to meet anywhere they want to meet. I prefer not to join them because they're not in communion with the Anglican church.
"I consider them to be conservative. I don't know why they were here. They pay their pay where ever they go. I don't know what they consider themselves to be."
