The issue here was that with the holding back of moneys from the dioceses, the relief missions would also suffer. So the Anglican fund was set up to pick up the slack.

But if you have some ideas on how that money could be spent to keep the Anglican Communion from disintegrating, please tell! Nobody yet, insofar as I know, has figured out how to solve that problem by throwing money at it.

Well, it's this literalism of the social gospel that is the major source of the problem in the Anglican Communion. Social-activist priests simply turned the Church into all of the world's problems. If Anglicans are troubled by the chaos in the Church, then they would be better off using that money to buy some property and build a parish church that isn't under the control of a local Episcopal bishop.

A split is coming in the Anglican Communion. But if traditional Anglicans would rather send their money to Muslims than build local parishes, then I don't want to hear any more complaints when a bishop in the Episcopal church imposes his or her will on a local parish, and the congregation has nowhere to go.
