From England-The Archbishop of Canterbury has called on the Church of England to overcome fears about the introduction of women bishops and divisions over the treatment of gay people.
The Most Rev Justin Welby said there must be a "massive" cultural change within the Church of England to accept disagreement and build love and trust between opposing groups.
In a presidential address to the General Synod, he rejected claims that living with different opinions amounted to something "comfortable and soft and wishy-washy".
"This sort of love, and the reconciliation between different groups that it implies, is not comfortable and soft and wishy-washy," he said.
"It is exceptionally hard-edged, extraordinarily demanding and likely to lead in parts of the world around us to profound unpopularity and dismissal."
