Conservative Anglican leaders meet debate on a possible breakaway

Anglicans worldwide are grappling with foundational questions: Can they stay together? Should they? Or have their theological differences frayed centuries of unity beyond repair? Conservative leaders of numerous Anglican churches are gathering in Nigeria for a four-day meeting. They’ll discuss a plan that could result in a historic split in one of the world’s largest Christian communions. The meeting will bring together numerous primates – national Anglican leaders – and other bishops, clergy, and lay people.
