WINNIPEG -- Even if the Anglican Church of Canada votes on Saturday to approve same-sex blessings, the spokesman for the world's top Anglican says the Canadian denomination will not be kicked out of the global Anglican communion.

"No scenario could emerge" from this week's Anglican general synod that would lead to the Archbishop of Canterbury expelling the Canadian church from the 76-million-member global Anglican denomination, says Kenneth Kearon, secretary general of the Anglican Communion.

The right-hand man to Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury, told CanWest News Service Thursday: "There's no question the Anglican Church of Canada is a valued member of the Anglican Communion. There's never been a scenario considered that would lead to the exclusion of the Anglican Church of Canada." the rest
