Uniting Church set to ordain gay priests
The Uniting Church appears set to allow practising homosexuals to be ordained as priests, amid warnings of a major split.
It is not known whether plans to amalgamate with the Anglican Church, would be affected by the passing of the proposal.
The merger of the two churches came a step closer when the assembly voted to approve steps to start the process on Tuesday.
The Anglican Church [already] allows gay priests, but they must be celibate.

Doesn't sound very uniting. And how can a church that's not united in itself amalgamate with another church? :S
