Some 800 conservative Anglicans are expected at a Birmingham meeting this week, including African and Asian archbishops who have warned of a possible schism if the U.S. Episcopal Church does not renounce its approval of gay bishops and blessing of same-sex unions.

The Anglican Mission in America, a splinter group that includes many ex-Episcopalians, will have a conference Wednesday through Sunday at the Sheraton Birmingham Hotel.

Organizers say as many as nine Anglican archbishops, or primates, from various countries plan to attend. Archbishop Datuk Yong Ping Chung of Malaysia is scheduled to open the session at 7:30 a.m. Wednesday.

3. He is no longer a diocesan bishop, but....

Even though he is no longer the administrator of a diocese, he is still a bishop. Quite a few of the people at this illegal (under canon law) synod are retired and no longer have active ministries.
