Is it time for the Anglican Communion to separate? Stephen Bates of the Guardian thinks so. He writes:
Separation would ensure that conservative evangelicals and their developing world allies, with their fierce denunciations of homosexuals, could retreat into their own pure, sexually-unsullied, hermetically sealed bubble and float off on their own, while liberals and those who feel that the church can indeed accommodate itself to all types and conditions of folk can spend their energies on issues that should rightly concern them more.
