Charles+, They'd have a year anyway. Again, the Commission doesn't delay any splits (as we'll all see come Sunday and Monday). What it does is see how those splits affect the worldwide Anglican Communion. Remember, just as the Primates have no authority to discipline a Province, they also don't have authority to create a commission that can discipline a Province. What I find fascinating is that the emerging "Network of Confessing Dioceses and Parishes" was not only named by Canterbury, but also is working closely with him. Mark+ PS Yesterday, we had our 25th new member join us. We have about another 30 that will probably join after Sunday. Neat bunch so far, too.
