An Anglican primate has launched a stinging attack on the Archbishop of Canterbury's "indecisive" leadership amid growing fears that the worldwide
Church will split within months.

The head of the Anglican Church of Canada, Archbishop Andrew Hutchison, said yesterday that Dr Rowan Williams's handling of the
crisis over homosexuality had been "disappointing and lacking" at critical points.Archbishop Hutchison, a liberal ally of the American Episcopal Church, urged Dr Williams to meet the American bishops in an effort to avert a schism that could result in the Canadian Church splitting away as well.

He also said that he had advised Dr Williams to cancel next year's Lambeth Conference, the 10-yearly gathering of bishops in Canterbury, to help defuse the crisis.
