Additionally, I believe the African churches are amending their constitutions to redefine their relationship as being to the orthodox Anglican communion, not the Archbishop of Canterbury.

You are correct.

If that's so, and they do, then I'm off to find an AMiA Church.

I've been attending an ECUSA Churc in a Diocese where the Bishop voted "no" on Robinson but am eager to be in place where I can talk about my faith, rather than hide it.

I also discovered there is a homeless woman who not only sings in the Choir but several Sundays a month is crucifer. I discvered her large bags under the choir pews, asked the Interim Vicar about it and got "she's happy so we haven't tried to interfere in her life".

WHAT part of "feed the hungry, house the homeless" does this guy not get?

Oh, she's happy being homeless, seems to be doing okay, so let's not interfere?

You guessed correctly if you guessed that I have not been back and will never go back. But I am trying to do something for the homeless woman.

A communion is nothing more or less than a spiritual and structural relationship among bishops holding the exact same faith. In other words, the relationship is not with a "communion", the relationship is called a "communion" which defines the church or ecclesial community within which that relationship exists. The cited type of thinking may actually underlie much of the structural chaos we see in the Anglican Church. Or am I misunderstanding, in my Balkan peasant way, what the African Anglicans or you are saying?
