Of course some of them might not like homosexual people, but, as they never tire of pointing out, that is not what this historic rift is about.

Three religions have struck a delicate balance in Jerusalem’s Old City

In reality, the dispute centres on how strictly Anglicans should interpret the Bible, and whether, for example, it should be read as ruling out active homosexuality as a sin.

Homosexuality is simply the presenting issue - the human behaviour that exposes radically different approaches to the Bible, and helps to make this such a fundamental dispute.

However, the traditionalist bishops meeting in Jerusalem to plan their next move in this crisis claim that embracing active homosexuality is only a part of the "liberal agenda".

They still want the American Church expelled for ordaining an openly gay bishop in 2003.

But now there are other issues, among them their suspicion that liberal Anglicans are quietly backing away from their "calling" to evangelise other faiths.

Left or right?

I met the chairman of the traditionalist Reform group in the Church of England, Rev Rod Thomas, inside the Damascus Gate of the Old City of Jerusalem.

Just inside the gate you are faced with a choice: the Christian Quarter to the right and the Muslim Quarter on the left.

We headed left, down into a warren of narrow streets, their walls hung with the goods on sale in the shops here. We found mosques and churches crowded cheek by jowl into this most crowded quarter of Jerusalem.

Over the centuries three religions have achieved a delicate balance here.

But Rod Thomas said the need to maintain the sometimes fragile relationship between religions was being used by some Anglicans as an excuse not to spread the faith to others.

"We are very concerned indeed about developments in the Episcopal Church in America over the approach to mission," he said.

"Simply because the Presiding Bishop [Katherine Jefferts-Schori] has seemed to suggest that Jesus Christ isn’t the only way of salvation, but it is just one of several viable ways. And there is nothing in the Bible that supports that view," he said.

"I know it sounds good to the pluralistic West, but if it remains untrue, and if it’s not what the Bible teaches, then I don’t really see what it’s got to do with Anglicanism."

Competition for converts

It was the dispute over who is truly Anglican, and a wish to claim ownership of the original values of the Bible, that brought the Anglican traditionalists to Jerusalem.

But the local Anglican Bishop in Jerusalem, Suheil Dawani, pleaded - unsuccessfully - with them not to come.

God is beautiful, God is love, God is compassion, so why use bad language to talk about God or explain about the message? Sheikh Abdul Aziz Bukhari

He was anxiously aware that most of the visitors were from churches in the centre of Africa, where relations with Muslims are uneasy, or even hostile.

"We are struggling to work for peace and reconciliation in this troubled land, especially in Jerusalem," says Bishop Suheil.

"And we are keen to keep the balance among other faiths, because we are working very close with Judaism and Islam. This is part of our mission and witness in Islam."

But many of the traditionalist African Anglicans meeting in Jerusalem are already in open competition with Muslims to win converts.

They say Muslims in Africa respect their duty to evangelise.

Common values

But Sheikh Abdul Aziz Bukhari, the descendant of a long line of Muslim scholars who lives in a rambling roof-top house in the heart of the Old City, says evangelism is a duty best carried out with great humility.

"I prefer the modest one, the one who’s more gentle with (how they) speak. God is beautiful, God is love, God is compassion, so why use bad language to talk about God or explain about the message? If you marry Muslims, you are in the wrong, you are in doom… that’s not the way to tell people about other religions."

There are also liberal Anglicans who share Sheikh Bukhari’s focus on the fundamental religious values - love, equality and forgiveness for example - common to other religions.

But traditionalists claim that this masks a more serious failure to uphold the essence of Christianity.

The Church of the Holy Sepulchre is seen as the site of Jesus’s crucifixion

Rod Thomas told me liberal Anglicans risked denying Muslims the opportunity to hear what is to him a fundamental truth.

"Jesus Christ said ‘I am the way, the truth and the life. No-one comes to the Father, but by me,’" he says.

"Yes, we want to proclaim the uniqueness and lordship of Christ over all the world, but we need to do that, yes, with confidence, but also with great sensitivity. So that people hear the message and don’t immediately discount it as something alien to their cultures."

My walk through the Old City of Jerusalem ended at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, traditionally regarded as the site of Jesus’s crucifixion.

It is also famously a building over which various churches have squabbled so much that a Muslim has to hold the key.

It seems that even if Christianity and Islam are to remain rivals, the rivalry within Christianity will prove as difficult to resolve.

The town of Unity, New Hampshire, could hardly have done more to make itself the ideal backdrop for this great symbolic act of reconciliation.

Mr Obama needs the votes of Mrs Clinton’s former supporters

America’s Democrats came together to bury their differences in a gently shelving meadow cut from the rolling woodland of rural New England.

There is the symbolic resonance of the name, for a start - I imagine there will be a pay rise and promotion for the lucky strategist who stumbled upon this picture-book village in what must have been a pretty detailed gazetteer of North America.

But there is also the way the town’s voters reflected the division and debate which gripped the Democrats through the long - and sometimes bitter - primary season with which Campaign 2008 wrote itself into the history books.

In the agonisingly tight New Hampshire Democratic Primary, 214 people voted in Unity, we are told - 107 each for Obama and Clinton.

But there is no denying it made an improbable backdrop for this key symbolic moment in this historic election year.

The crowd that gathered in the open field on the edge of Unity outnumbered the town’s population, and the long line of supporters snaking down Main Street past the white-painted weatherboard town hall took hours to funnel through the village and onto the makeshift bleachers erected around the temporary stage.

Matching colours

And yet, somehow, it seemed appropriate - after all, the two leading Democrat contenders trailed their divisions and differences through hundreds of communities like this, so there was no reason why the process of binding the wounds should not start here.

And the onstage show of Unity-in-Unity was impressive too.

It rather looked as if the candidates and their dressers had co-ordinated outfits - Mr Obama was not wearing a jacket but his loosely-knotted tie appeared to be the same shade of cobalt blue as the trouser suit that Mrs Clinton favoured.

And of course, the two senators, slick and seasoned performers, were bang on message.

Mrs Clinton praised Mr Obama and spoke of him as a friend - she directly urged those of her supporters who are considering not voting at all, or even voting for Mr McCain, to reconsider.

Mrs Clinton has been far more gracious and constructive in defeat than her critics would have thought possible, however deep her private disappointment

She is still Hillary, of course: tough, brilliant - and disappointed.

So I detected a slight edge when she noted that New Hampshire would always have a special place in her heart (remember her extraordinary comeback victory in the state’s primary?) and expressed the hope that it would soon have a special place in Mr Obama’s (subtext: I hope you win the state in the general election, but do not forget this is one of the places where I beat you).

Mr Obama is a better public speaker than Mrs Clinton, with a real feel for cadence and climax but he got one of the biggest cheers of the day for the simplest line of the lot.

He had a few elaborate words of praise for Mrs Clinton of course, but at one point he said simply: "She rocks."

You got a sense from his speech of the weight that will be lifted from his shoulders if the Democratic Party really can put on a united front too.

I have rarely seen him more relaxed - at one point he was even thanking the local warm-up band (The Popcorn 7, since you ask) and telling the crowd where they could find burgers and hot dogs behind the huge "Change We Can Believe In" sign which dominated the setting.

Colossal debts

There is a tough political subtext to all of this of course.

Mr Obama needs Mrs Clinton’s supporters, and Mrs Clinton needs Mr Obama’s support.

In other words, he needs the votes of the older women and blue-collar men who tended to support her in the Democratic primaries and she needs help to start paying off her colossal campaign debts, thought to be well over $20 million.

It is fair to say that both processes are now under way.

Mrs Clinton has been far more gracious and constructive in defeat than her critics would have thought possible, however deep her private disappointment.

And Mr Obama has not only urged some of his own wealthy backers to help Mrs Clinton - he set the ball rolling by writing her a cheque himself.

Plenty of people I met in the crowd where very much on board with the Unity message - the new orthodoxy is simply that the party was lucky to have had TWO outstanding candidates, especially when history was beckoning either the first black, or woman president.

But there were plenty of Hillary supporters in the crowd too whose mood was, for want of a better word, un-unified.

It remains to be seen how many of them will carry out their threat to vote Republican or simply not vote at all.

Still, I am starting to think Barack Obama is a lucky politician, and luck goes a long way in politics.

It is not just the fact that he had his old adversary on stage beside him either.

The day dawned sunny in Unity but as time wore on it slowly clouded over - the Democrats had built an open stage in the middle of a field and rain would have been a televisual disaster.

But for Mr Obama, the rain held off - just.

The first drops fell as he delivered the last words of another soaring peroration.

However exciting and history-making a candidacy might be, a little bit of luck never hurt anybody.
