Dr Rowan Williams, leader of the world's 70 million Anglican Christians, wants primates to discuss the impact of the appointment of a gay Episcopalian bishop in the United States, a move that threatens to cause a split in the Episcopalian Church as well as other Anglican denominations, notably the Church of England.
