Thanks. I may have asked this before, but do think that I am using the word "communion" differently than you or for that matter the ECUSA revisionists? The uproar over the fact that the African Archbishops would not attend at a Liturgy with Griswold, which to me seems quite canonical, indicates to me that at least insofar as the revisionists are concerned, we are speaking of different things when we speak of communion.

Um. You have a good point there. As far as the revisionists, yes I think it means something quite different, probably ending with the outwardly visible aspect. I suspect the orthodox Anglican definition may be a little different from the Orthodox definition, and probably comes more from the legalistic than the mystical approach. I'd elaborate, but I have a meeting at church I must head off to now.
