I certainly understand the author's love for Anglicanism. Even though I had only been Anglican for about 7 years when I made the move to Orthodoxy, I thought that my heart would break at what I saw myself as losing.
For me, the aura and aesthetic of Anglicanism was what I loved the most, so I knew that ultimately this was not a reason to stay in that world.
The problem with being in the various Continuing Anglican bodies is that each is so small. We see in Orthodoxy that when a given small "jurisdiction" essentially cuts themselves off from the influence of the greater Orthodox world, funny things start to happen, because the influence of individual personalities and idiosyncracies can start to come into play to a greater extent.
Numbers alone are not a reason to be in one church body rather than another. If so, we would shut down our small Orthodox parish (the only one for a couple hundred miles), and all become Protestants!
I rather mean to point out that there are particular dangers to any situation, and this is one of the dangers that Continuing Anglicans potentially face. Believe me, I've seen it in action.
Heart-wrenching article, all in all.
