Two points:

ONE:
SACRISTANS are NOT janitors! (We still call them that in the RCC. Didn't realize that sextants were exactly sacristans. The etymolgy is very ineteresting, though.)
BUT!
Sacristans handle the remains of the Eucharist. I know you are trying to keep things simple, but you went a little too far. I would no sooner call a sacristan a janitor then I would call an undertaker a trashman.

TWO:
"Bishop" Robinson's consecration is NOT slowly destroying the ECUSA. It's doing it very quickly. (Resurrection time!)

1. Sorry, but the sexton really did derive from 'sacristan'...and yeah I guess I over simplified...

2. LOL *everything* in Anglicanism appears to happen slowly...
