n his first meeting with the new head of the Anglican Communion, Pope John Paul II expressed concern that ecumenical relations face new tensions as Anglicans consider the implications of the ordination of an openly gay bishop in the United States.
“As we give thanks for the progress that has already been made, we must also recognise that new and serious difficulties have arisen on the path to unity.”
Pope John Paul welcomed Anglican Archbishop Rowan Williams of Canterbury to the Vatican on October 4 and gave him one of the first pectoral crosses forged to commemorate the 25th anniversary of his pontificate. The archbishop gave the Pope a Canterbury cross, and he and his entire delegation kissed the Pope's hand at the end of the audience.

In his speech to the archbishop, the Pope said, "As we give thanks for the progress that has already been made, we must also recognise that new and serious difficulties have arisen on the path to unity. "These difficulties are not all of a merely disciplinary nature," he said. "Some extend to essential matters of faith and morals."
