"Universal trade liberalisation may offer fresh markets and promise overall in-creases in wealth," he said.

As far as Latimer knows, there are only two Anglican Priests within the Auckland Diocese who have registered as official Civil Union celebrants and are listed on the government's website. This is clearly in open defiance of their Bishop, John Paterson, who in last year's charge to the Auckland synod declared "I ... wish to make it clear that a licence from me does not authorise clergy to be involved at such ceremonies."

Roseberry has been a leader of efforts to uphold what he and others call "Anglican orthodoxy" in the wake of the consecration of openly gay bishop and Lexington native Gene Robinson in 2003.

Robinson's ordination has created strife throughout the Anglican church worldwide, leading to concerns, such as Roseberry's, that a split between the U.S. church and the rest of Anglicanism could be on the horizon.

However Ms Rodgers, a member of the Anglican Church's ecumenical working group, says the sentiments of the Declaration Dominus Iesus that the then Cardinal Ratzinger authored in 2000, should concern Bible-believing Christians.

"Dominus Iesus contains clear affirmation of Jesus Christ and Scriptural quotes about his person and work. Yet, biblical Christians can't agree that salvation through Christ can be found in the Catholic Church only," she writes.
