"Done"? Not yet. It's (IMHO) inevitable, but the body's still breathing.

From the comments: "What I have found is that so many people are still unaware of the schism that ECUSA is leading the Anglican Communion into!"

This is the reason this ping list and associated activities (some related to FR and some conducted elsewhere) continue -- we still get, from time to time, those who are bewildered at what happened to their church. I would not declare it a room-temperature corpse until all the faithful are out (or, unimaginably to me, they win).

Yeah, you're probably right that there's still hope here and there.

But the Diocese of Atlanta is done. Finished. Dead. The one remaining orthodox congregation is elderly and dwindling, and they lost their long-time rector (the bishop finally wore him down) and have an interim. I don't know if they'll even be able to find somebody to call. And they're an urban parish (in a neighborhood with lots of aging hippies, gays, and punks) so I don't know if there's any future in it.

I think most of our "high" Anglicans have already lateraled to the Catholics.
