Windsor 2004: AAC & ACN Respond
We understand and embrace the justifiable concern for the unity of the communion, and we treasure real unity. We cannot in good conscience, however, support such unity at the expense of truth.

Windsor 2004: Foreword by Archbishop Robin Eames
The decision by the 74th General Convention of the Episcopal Church (USA) to give consent to the election of bishop Gene Robinson to the Diocese of New Hampshire, the authorising by a diocese of the Anglican Church of Canada of a public Rite of Blessing for same sex unions and the involvement in other provinces by bishops without the consent or approval of the incumbent bishop to perform episcopal functions have uncovered major divisions throughout the Anglican Communion.

LONDON: Bishops told: say sorry for gay rift
Gregory Venables, Primate of the Southern Cone of America (one of the 22 churches) said: “The provinces in broken communion will remain in broken communion. It’s like saying, ‘Am I going to return to having an adulterous relationship?’ The schism is there.”
