From the daily bulletin (for Saturday 24th, but issed 26 July 2010) of ‘the Standing Committee’ of the Anglican Communion, meeting in London –

“A proposal from Dato’ Stanley Isaacs [Province of South East Asia] that The Episcopal Church be separated from the Communion led to a discussion in which Committee members acknowledged the anxieties felt in parts of the Communion about sexuality issues. Nevertheless, the overwhelming opinion was that separation would inhibit dialogue on this and other issues among Communion Provinces, dioceses and individuals and would therefore be unhelpful. The proposal was not passed, and the group agreed to defer further discussion until progress on Continuing Indaba project had been considered.”
