Anglican Leaders ‘Unequivocally’ Ban Gay Blessings & Consecrations

World Anglican leaders have demanded that the US Episcopal Church (ECUSA) unequivocally bar official prayers for gay couples and the consecration of more gay bishops, Monday 19th February.

The decision was made as a crunch Anglican Summit came to an end in Tanzania, with the Church desperately trying to repair the damage the North American arm of the Communion has caused.

In a final statement to bring the six-day meeting to a close, leaders explained that the pledges made by the ECUSA for a moratorium on gay unions and consecrations have been so ambiguous that they have failed to fully mend "broken relationships" in the 77 million-member Anglican Communion.
