By Anglicanism, I am referring, of course, to the Church of England, which is still the point of unity for the entire Anglican communion.
Even most "conservatives" in ECUSA and the other "first world" Anglican Communion churches seem not to have a problem with the ordination of women. The C of E may be an exception, but probably only because it could cost them their leadership role in the Anglican world. I don't see significant hotbeds of opposition to women's ordination in the C of E on the grounds that it is just plain wrong, contrary to tradition, not subject to compromise. But of course, you are more familiar with the scene than I am.
If a split in the Anglican Communion comes about, with a dividing line being the ordination of women, then there would still be a very long and rocky path to union of the traditional side with Orthodoxy, but the path would still be there.
Another sad day. Hoping that Church would be ONE again. Now, how gonna settle Gay can become priest, woman can become priest and many more. It seem SOMEONE try to postpone the CHURCH unity. Let us pray for MIRACLE so that CHURCH can be one again.
Okay.

I suspect the issue is that those who have a problem with the ordination of women have long since left. It wasn't just a matter of ordaining them; I recall reading that, once ordained, the women priests were forced upon thos who wouldn't accept them. (I was paying no attention to ECUSA during that time; all I know is second-hand.)
I don't know about "significant" hot beds of opposition, but they do exist -- and the reason is more based on scripture and less on tradition.
There is not unity on this issue even in the African churches, it appears. Okay someplaces, not elsewhere.
