they actually keep a list in some desk at Lambeth House of who is "officially" in and who is not

Are you sure the list isn't in the "basement" somewhere? It makes it sound more sinister. ;-)

Thanks for the clarification. What was the big reason for the split?

What was the big reason for the split?

Priestesses in the US and Canada, mainly. Subsequently in other countries. There were many things going on but the priestess issue, by invalidating Holy Orders and therefore the other sacraments as well, was the issue that gave us no choice but to break our ecclesiastical ties and seek orthodox (little o) episcopal oversight.
