Vancouver -- The president of a group representing gay Anglicans says he is not worried by a weekend meeting of conservative clergy opposed to a recent decision to permit the blessing of same-sex unions in area churches.

"There is not any concern about our going back," said Steve Schuh of Integrity Vancouver. "Our bishop has given us his strong endorsement." Bishop Michael Ingham approved the blessing of gay unions after a vote by churches in the southwest B.C. Diocese of New Westminster. CP
