(RNS) Chile's top Anglican bishop has become collateral damage in the border wars between the Episcopal Church and conservatives overseas.

Bishop Tito Zavala of Chile has been removed from an international commission that considers questions of faith and governance in the Anglican Communion, a network of 44 regional churches around the world.

The Rev. Kenneth Kearon, secretary general of the communion, announced Zavala's removal from the Anglican Standing Commission on Unity, Faith, and Order on Wednesday (Oct. 14).

Zavala was ousted because his archbishop, the Most Rev. Gregory Venables, refused to answer questions about his supervision of conservatives in four breakaway Episcopal dioceses and dozens of parishes, Kearon said in a statement.

"These decisions are not taken easily or lightly, but relate to the gracious restraint requested (by Anglican leaders) ... and the implications for communion bodies when these requests are not honored," Kearon said.

Zavala himself was not known to be involved in the border crossing.

Episcopal leaders have long complained about conservative archbishops such as Venables founding new churches and communities for disaffected Episcopalians in the U.S., a breach of Anglican decorum.

But while Episcopalians have been removed from top Anglican commissions for consecrating gay bishops, Zavala appears to be the first person penalized for the cross-border interventions.

Tensions within the Episcopal Church and the wider Anglican Communion have intensified with the consecration of two openly gay Episcopal bishops in the last six years.

Archbishop of Canterbury Roman Williams, the spiritual leader of the Anglican Communion, has called for a halt on any more gay bishops or border interventions. That call has been largely ignored.

Jennifer Vanasco: The Episcopal Clergy Vote is an Important One for Gays

Once all Mainline Protestant churches start approving of gay marriage it will be very difficult for politicians and anti-marriage advocates to make a religious argument against it.

Diana Butler Bass: The Real Reason for the Anglican-Episcopal Divide

This week, dueling pastoral letters from Rowan Williams, the Anglican Archbishop of Canterbury, and Katharine Jefferts Schori, the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church, caught my attention.

Allison Kilkenny: Catholic Church Threatens To Stop Feeding Homeless Over Gay Marriage

The child molestations, and filing sticky-fingered priests from diocese to diocese, is all part of God's grand plan, but showing the slightest bit of consideration for gay couples is just too much.

Irene Monroe: Let the Episcopal Church say Amen

The conservative arm of the Episcopal Church suggests that the openly-gay Bishop of New Hampshire, Rev. Robinson, should resign to avoid disintegration of the Anglican Communion
