Meeting in that renowned liberal enclave of Houston, Texas, American bishops said they were not willing to compromise their power or their commitment to equal rights for homosexuals.
The American bishops had previously called for an urgent meeting to discuss the standoff with the Archbishop of Canterbury.
But surprisingly the Most Rev. Rowan Williams’ calendar was full.
