Anglican Primate of South East Asia and Singapore Archbishop John Chew elected chairman of the Global South network which represents about 75 per cent of Anglicans globally.

Anglican Archbishop Desmond Tutu has criticised his own church - in a BBC radio programme to be aired next Tuesday - for being "obsessed" with homosexuality at a time when the world is beset with other pressing problems such as poverty, HIV and conflict.
