This list is pinged by sionnsar and newheart.

"Individual members of Anglican Communion churches do not have the luxury of deciding for themselves who they are in communion with."

You know, canonically, the author is probably right as far as any individual clerical or laity member of the CoA is concerned. This isn't to say that such persons cannot leave the CoA, but to the extent they remain members of the CoA, they are in communion with whomsoever their bishop is. If these priests "break communion" with their bishops, they become what we call "vagantes", a canonically irregular status, until they come under the omophorion of another canonical bishop.
