It's Splits

The man with one of the least enviable jobs in the world made what must have been the hardest decision of his life. The right Reverand Rowan Wiliams the Archbishop of Canterbury is proposing to split the Anglican Communion. This means that the ECUSA will no longer be a full communicant and will have a status similar to the methodist church in England. Why is this issue- one so seemingly peripheral to the gospel-the one noone can take? And not core issues such as nonviolence, simplicity, and the resurection? How many overweight, warmongering, or heretical bishops are there? And yet it's homosexuality that causes the split.
