From England-
The Archbishop of Canterbury has insisted that the worldwide Anglican Communion has a secure future despite divisions over issues such as homosexuality and women bishops.
Speaking during a question-and-answer session as part of a four-day pastoral visit to the Diocese of Lichfield, Dr Rowan Williams acknowledged that the Communion's divisions would not be "easily healed".
But the Archbishop said he believed the association's role in building relationships between different churches was secure.
After giving a lecture on the meaning of heresy throughout history, Dr Williams was asked whether there was a future for the Anglican Communion, which is estimated to have around 80 million members in 44 regional and national member churches.
Addressing an audience at Telford's International Centre in Shropshire, Dr Williams replied: "I do see the Communion as worth working for because I believe that a model of real international unity by consent is a very precious gift to the Christian world at large.
