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?

Episcopal thinking seems to be that that bishops can hold radically different views of the meaning of the articles of the creed and still sit in the same pews. Indeed, I gather some would say that it is perfectly all right to omit the Creed altogeher since it is divisive.
