"The Communion is, in fact, broken," Hutchison told a packed church in downtown Toronto.
Hutchison held an open forum for about 400 parishioners to discuss whether a schism among the world's 77 million Anglicans was inevitable in light of a tense meeting in Northern Ireland.
In February, the leaders of the world's churches - known as primates - met in Newry, Northern Ireland where the endorsement of same-sex relationships revealed a deep divide between North America and the rest of the world that some say may be permanent.
One of the key concerns was the New Westminster, B.C., diocese's adoption of a motion in 2002 that allowed its churches to bless same-sex unions. The other was the consecration of an openly gay bishop in the Episcopal Church, the United States branch of Anglicanism.
Most Anglican bishops follow traditional Christian teaching that gay sex is sinful.
After the meeting, the Canadian church was asked to "voluntarily withdraw" its delegates from the international Anglican Consultative Council, at least until the 2008 Lambeth Conference.
But Hutchison offered no guarantees that he would oblige the appeal.
"It's a request, and I have said to you I don't take that as granted," Hutchison told the predominantly sympathetic crowd.
"I think it's entirely possible that our Council of General Synod will say, 'No, this is the most important consultative body of the Communion and our presence is enormously important, so we will be attending as invited.' And we are still invited. Nobody has uninvited us."
The issue has already caused a rupture among Canadian Anglicans. Rev. Ed Hird, an opponent of same-sex unions, has helped lead a breakaway from the Anglican Church of Canada.
Hird has said the primates have found Canada's stance "very harmful because it defaces what Anglicans have always taught."
Hird is now part of a group of 11 churches - eight in British Columbia and three in Saskatchewan - that have effectively left the Anglican Church of Canada over the issue and are now affiliated with the church in Rwanda.
The Canadian Council of General Synod will review its position in early May.

By CONNIE WOODCOCK -- For the Toronto Sun, Ontario When Pierre Berton wrote about Canadian Anglicanism 40 years ago, he called it the comfortable pew and suggested Anglicans were a smug, self-satisfied bunch.
Quite a bit has changed. Smug, we're not -- and the seating is anything but comfortable these days, since our senior clergy have led us to the brink of being tossed out of the worldwide Anglican communion on the issue of the blessing of same-sex union -- gay almost-marriage.
They were further instructed to explain to that body why they've allowed the blessing of same sex unions, contrary to traditional church teachings, and to declare a moratorium on them until 2008.
Most of the world's 77 million Anglicans regard homosexuality as a sin. The liberal North American clergy do not. Cutting to the chase, it means the North Americans have been told to shape up or ship out.
In the weeks since, it appears the Canadian primate is unrepentant. No moratorium has been declared and according to Archbishop Andrew Hutchison, primate of the Anglican Church of Canada, the uproar and the threat of schism is all "part of a pain that needs to be endured."
The archbishop has also complained that the Archbishop of Canterbury suddenly cancelled a visit to Canada after the meeting -- almost as if he didn't want to be seen with the rebels(...)
All of which means that someday soon -- probably in 2008 or even sooner, if the Canadian church hierarchy doesn't accept the primates' demand for a moratorium on same sex blessings -- we're going to be cut off from formal communion with the 70 million other Anglicans in the world.
What are they thinking? Heaven only knows, but I know what many of the people in the pews are thinking -- they're horrified and they're wondering anxiously what Jesus would do(...)
It is all extremely painful -- and meanwhile, no one has asked the people in the pews what they think -- probably because, if they were asked, I suspect, the issue would be rejected out of hand.
But no one's asking us(...)
2c) http://www.metronews.ca/reuters_national.asp?id=62643 National: Metro News (Toronto, Ontario) Homosexuality Could Split Church-Canadian Anglican Friday, March 18, 2005 2:20:05 PM ET By Randall Palmer OTTAWA (Reuters) - The Anglican Church could split over the issue of homosexuality because conservatives and liberals are both reluctant to make concessions, the head of the Anglican Church of Canada said on Friday.
"There could be some real schism," Archbishop Andrew Hutchison told Reuters by phone from Toronto.
Worldwide Anglican leaders last month asked the U.S. Episcopal Church and the Anglican Church of Canada to stay away from a key decision-making body and to impose a moratorium on blessing same-sex unions and on ordaining gay bishops.
Hutchison said he could not predict what the Canadian response would be on each point, but he did suggest more generally that a return to the traditional church position was unlikely.
"It's very, very difficult to imagine the North American churches taking a backward step," said Hutchison, who personally supports blessing same-sex couples.
As for the conservatives in the global church, they have also been taking a firm position. He pointed to the refusal of several of the archbishops at last month's meeting in Northern Ireland to celebrate communion with their liberal colleagues.
"If that doesn't signify their breaking from communion, I don't know what does," he said.
"If there were no change in their position and if there were no change in the North American position, then clearly that does spell schism."(...)
Nonetheless he said the archbishops, who asked the North Americans to voluntarily withdraw from the key Anglican Consultative Council, had no authority over that body.
"They have no authority here to invite or otherwise," he said, adding that the Anglican Consultative Council -- composed of bishops, clergy and laity -- decides on its own membership.
Canadian church leaders will meet in late April and in another forum in early May to examine the request to stay away when the council meets.
"I don't think it's a foregone conclusion that the (Canadian) church will withhold its members from that meeting," he said.
Meanwhile, for now at least, the diocese of New Westminster, British Columbia, is maintaining its policy of blessing homosexual unions.
Hutchison said the Canadian meetings in April and May can recommend a moratorium on the practice but will have no authority to impose one. Only the general synod -- the highest decision-making body in the Canadian church, which meets next in 2007 -- can do that.

Rowan Williams' snub appears to be the latest move in the isolation of Canadian and U.S. Anglican churches from the global Anglican community over the tolerance of homosexuality and gay unions here, officials said. "Just like Catholics are tied to the Pope and tradition, the Archbishop of Canterbury is important to us," said Bob Bennett, the bishop of Norfolk in the Diocese of Huron, which includes Windsor. "To have this rift or tension is really difficult and hard on us."(...)

The moratorium was proposed by New Hampshire Bishop V. Gene Robinson during a semiannual meeting of the Episcopal House of Bishops meeting in Navasota, Texas, which ended yesterday. Presiding Bishop Frank Griswold, head of the 2.3-million-member Episcopal Church, told the Associated Press yesterday church leaders approved the moratorium because they did not want "our gay brothers and lesbian sisters demeaned."(...) The statement also said bishops will not authorize any rites for same-sex "blessings" in churches nor bless such unions until General Convention. However, it left a loophole for priests to conduct such "blessings" on their own authority(...) According to the Living Church, an Episcopal publication, Bishop Griswold told his fellow prelates at the Navasota meeting that the archbishops were "out for blood" at the Northern Ireland meeting and likened six conservative Episcopalians to the devil. The six, all of whom were in Northern Ireland during the meeting, were Pittsburgh Bishop Robert Duncan; Canon Bill Atwood, general secretary of the Ekklesia Society in Texas; the Rev. Martyn Minns, rector of Truro Episcopal Church in Fairfax; the Rev. David Anderson, president of the American Anglican Council in Atlanta; the Rev. Kendall Harmon, canon theologian of the Diocese of South Carolina; and Diane Knippers, president of the Institute for Religion and Democracy in the District and a member of Truro. When Bishop Duncan protested Bishop Griswold's characterization of him, the magazine said, Bishop Robinson responded: "I don't believe a word of what you said. I just can't believe you." Attempts to reach Bishop Robinson for comment were unsuccessful. In an interview, Bishop Duncan said he was shocked at the exchange. "As a pastor, when I hear someone say everything I'm doing is evil or 'I don't believe anything you say,' this marriage is probably beyond repair," he said. "I think our House of Bishops is finally talking about that." Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, head of the 70-million-member Anglican Communion, called the Episcopal covenant a "constructive" response. But Mr. Harmon called U.S. bishops' actions the mere minimal compliance. "You have apostolic leaders acting as lawyers," he said. The bishops "were asked to do nothing until a new consensus in the Anglican Communion had emerged. Instead, they made a time-specific commitment and added to it their own conditions. That's what lawyers do."

Still, she said the actions of church leaders sent a mixed signal to gays and lesbians that ``the Episcopal Church welcomes you, sort of.''

The primate of the Anglican Church of Canada, Archbishop Andrew Hutchison, has admitted that the Anglican Communion is broken and that the ACC may choose to "walk apart" from the rest of the church.
Speaking to about 400 people at St James's Cathedral in Toronto last night, he said that the brokenness was symbolized by the refusal of 14 of the primates to break bread together during a communion service at the recent primates' meeting at a Roman Catholic retreat centre in Dromantine, in spite of pleas from the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, that they do so(...)
Archbishop has Hutchison indicated that the Council of General Synod, the body that governs the Canadian church in between the triennial General Synods, might not accede to this request (voluntary withdrawal of Ecusa and Canada from the Anglican Consultative Council).

Canon law requires that bishops must retire at age 72 - what happens in those dioceses where their bishop faces mandatory retirement? William Persell, Bishop of Chicago, has said that he and others are more than willing to pitch in and help run those dioceses.

Although orthodox bishops in attendance generally supported the covenant statement believing it had useful components in it, I disagree and believe they made a clear error.

"Whoever wants to be great must become a servant." Mark 10:43
"You can tell what they are by what they do." Matthew 7:16 The chapter's opening paragraphs:
"We serve God by serving others. "The world defines greatness in terms of power, possessions, prestige and position. If you can demand service from others, you've arrived. In our self-serving culture with its (ital) me-first (Close ital) mentality, acting like a servant is not a popular concept.
"Jesus, however, measured greatness in terms of service, not status. God determines your greatness by how many people you serve, not how many serve you..."
Ashley Smith, the 26-year-old widow who befriended Brian Nichols, a man who murdered four people and held her hostage at gunpoint in her apartment - read those words of Rick Warren to the killer. Nichols, who grabbed a gun from a deputy sheriff, killed a judge, a court reporter, a customs agent and an immigration agent - asked her to read those opening words a second time.

Brain-Damaged Woman's Feeding Tube Removed By MITCH STACY, Associated Press Writer, March 18th 2005 Friday
PINELLAS PARK, Fla. - Doctors removed Terri Schiavo's feeding tube Friday despite an extraordinary, last-minute push by Republicans on Capitol Hill to use the subpoena powers of Congress to save the severely brain-damaged woman.
It is expected that it will take one to two weeks for Schiavo, 41, to die, provided no one intercedes and gets the tube reinserted.
The tube has twice been removed in the past, but was re-inserted within days in both cases. Similar appeals are expected to continue in the current case.
The latest removal came amid a flurry of maneuvering by Schiavo's parents, state lawmakers and Congress to keep her alive. Committees in the Republican-controlled Congress issued subpoenas for Schiavo, her husband, and her caregivers demanding that they appear at hearings in the coming weeks
