Eugene Rogers, Blackwells 2002). At the Lambeth Conference in July 1998, then Bishop Rowan Williams of Monmouth abstained and did not vote in favour of the conservative resolution on human sexuality.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Bates|first1=Stephen|title=A Church At War: Anglicans And Homosexuality|url=https://archive.org/details/churchatwar00step|url-access=registration|date=2005|publisher=Hodder & Stoughton|location=London|page=[https://archive.org/details/churchatwar00step/page/176 176]|isbn=9781845110932}}</ref> These actions, combined with his initial support for openly gay Canon [[Jeffrey John]], gained him support among liberals and caused frustration for conservatives.
