The Anglican Consultative Council is meeting in Belfast this week to consider changes which would remove the role of the Archbishop of Canterbury as a focus for unity.
The move has arisen after disagreements over LGBT+ relationships and whether women can be ordained or be bishops, with traditionalists objecting while others have gone ahead.
The issue is in sharp focus now, as Dame Sarah Mullally has been appointed as the Archbishop of Canterbury.
Under the “Nairobi-Cairo” proposals, there would be a shared leadership model, with all provinces continuing to have relationships with each other, but acknowledging differences in belief.
A decision is expected at the end of this week.
