Leaders of the Episcopal Church decided Wednesday to withdraw delegates from an upcoming conference of the international Anglican Communion, a move that heads of other Anglican churches had requested because of a running dispute over homosexuality.

The Episcopalians' Executive Council held an unannounced special session in Mundelein, Ill., to answer a February appeal from 35 top leaders of world Anglicanism that no U.S. delegates participate in a June meeting of the Anglican Consultative Council.

The withdrawal request was "a weighty matter," the Episcopal leaders said.
