Ugandan bishops to boycott global Anglican meeting

KAMPALA (Reuters) - Uganda's Anglican bishops will boycott a major church summit this year because a rift over gay clergy and same-sex unions remains unresolved, Archbishop Henry Luke Orombi said on Thursday.

The consecration of openly gay U.S. Bishop Gene Robinson in 2003 has split the 400-year-old church -- setting a liberal minority against a conservative majority, mostly from Africa, Asia and Latin America.

"Since this crisis has not yet been resolved, the Bishops of the Church of Uganda have resolved that they will not be participating in the Lambeth Conference," Orombi said in a statement.
