Several Anglican leaders from around the world have denounced the decisions and announced that they may separate from the Episcopal Church. Not an especially insightful remark, in that those "leaders from around the world" (one presumes the African and Asian bishops who've been outspoken about this) lead something like 3/4 of the worldwide Anglican Communion -- 50-75 million to the Episcopal (ECUSA) church's... what is it down to now?... 2 million?
(On the other hand, ECUSA has the buck$...)

It is quite interesting to me the way the ECUSA heretics have been reduced to saying "what do you expect from a bunch of third-world savages." When push comes to shove it's the liberals who are really racist.

ECUSA has the bucks, but they will be counting a lot fewer of them if the conservative diocese split ... I would guess that would be about a third of their membership and funds.
We still don't know what Bishop Stanton is leaning toward doing. Our priest met with him Wednesday and he's not decided. It may depend on what happens in England.
I think the conservatives have put up with enough in-your-face slaps from the National Church.
