Thank you for forwarding the article.  I doubt any of
us can refute the logic.  As someone in one of the
Anglican publications observed, it is difficult to see
how in the same geographic area you can have 2
provinces in communion with Canterbury but not in
communion with one another.

I suspect that unity in the World Wide Anglican
Communion has always been more a hope than a reality.
Anglicans are not alone in this.  The RCC is hardly
the monolith that those outside think it to be.

Some of the Primates seem to think a housecleaning
(throwing the Revisionist Yankees out), is the only
way to restore peace in Eden.  If ECUSA is punished in
such a way, would that mean the WWACY map would show
the U.S.  as an unexplored territory?  What would
become of the "faithful remnant"? 

I know that y'all on the Ecumenical Committee have
suffered the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune
while doing your duty, but would you peer into your
crystal ball and hazard a guess as to how the
landscape will look in the near future?

And by the way, please thank your gracious people for
us.  You all were great hosts for the Synod.  And
thank you for all of your efforts.
