From the Daily Telegraph:Conservative Christians will throw down the gauntlet to the Archbishop of Canterbury this week by demanding that he openly disowns the American church over gay bishops.
A letter to be sent to Dr Rowan Williams tomorrow by Reform, an evangelical group representing 1,000 parishes, urges him to make it clear that he opposes the American position
The group warns that his failure to do so would split the Church of England from "top to bottom" and lead to a further demand that the US church is barred from the Lambeth Council, the annual gathering of bishops.

Incase you have not seenthis the article has apparently been disavowed - or at least there are posts to that effect especially on ThinkingAnglicans for example: "I have just spoken to Rod Thomas of Reform. He has stated 'categorically' that the letter to the Archbishop of Canterbury does NOT raise the issues alleged in the Telegraph article, but is concerned with seeking clarification about the Archbishop's involvement with the Communion service for the 'Consultation Group'. That is my current understanding.

I like the drawing, it looks better on your web site than when I clicked on it. At first I thought it a Schlossberg+ piece, alas clicking I was very disappointed -- so I like how it appears on your site.
