The Anglican communion, a loose federation of 38 national churches, has been split between a liberal minority and a conservative majority, especially since the naming of an openly gay United States bishop in 2003.

After a tense meeting of church leaders in the Tanzanian city of Dar Es Salaam this month, the Anglican Communion gave the US Episcopal Church a September deadline to stop blessing same sex unions.

Speaking to the Church of England synod, the spiritual leader of the world's 77 million Anglicans said: "It feels as though we are caught in a battle very few really want to be fighting, like soldiers in the trenches somewhere around 1916."

So the good old CofE is in trouble again.This time over whether or not homosexuals should be treated as human beings or cast into an eternal pit of firey damnation. The problem arises because those wacky Yanks have appointed an openly gay bishop (makes you wonder how many are still in the closet) and are blessing gay partnerships. The more conservative African branches are dead set against it.  Meanwhile the English are stuck in the middle.

Is this the end of brotherly love?

Pray tell us below.

Unfortunately it wasn't the most macho of outfits.
