So what's next? Does the rest of the Anglican Communion read this document for what it really says and go ahead and censure ECUSA? Interestingly, I have been told (Yes, it's only hearsay, judge ;-) but from a reliable source.) that my Bishop would actually repent of his vote to consecrate if the world-wide primates voted to kick out the ECUSA. In the meantime he is a staunch and crusading revisionist, but that was interesting to hear.

We note here that our decision-making structures differ from those in many parts of the Anglican Communion and that our actions require conciliar involvement by all the baptized of our church, lay and ordained. Therefore we as bishops, in offering our regrets, do not intend to preempt the canonical authority of the General Convention of the Episcopal Church

Take note of this, my friends. This is the old 'outsiders just don't understand how our church works lingo'. And the hobs definitely state they do not plan to hinder the Gen Con in any way. That line is the final coffin nail.

Given the insidious nature of this letter produced by no less than the House of Bishops of ECUSA, I consider this to be the test. If the worldwide Anglican Communion doesn't censure ECUSA next month then I will be certain the wwAC is weak, toothless, in full communion with heretics -- and best given a wide berth.
