It's really quite an interesting thing to watch, in a train-wreck sort of way.

The House of Bishops has been trying to do the least amount possible to avoid getting kicked out of the Communion. The homosexual lobby is having none of it -- from their perspective any slowdown represents a defeat, so they're going to avoid it.

It's entirely likely that General Convention will have to deal with the Diocese of California electing a practicing homosexual bishop. There will also be a variety of stage shows about various homosexual agenda items, and I'm guessing that they'll end up being successful in at least a few of them.

The leadership of the church would like to stay in the Communion, but they're about to learn what the orthodox learned a long time ago: once the homosexual lobby has infiltrated the inner workings of the church -- and in many places they have done so -- the HOB really has no power to stop anything.

I think it's fair to speculate that there will be a significant realignment with respect to the Communion and the American church after General Convention.

One can hope, but it would take courage and leadership, something that has been notably lacking from the so-called conservative Bishops.

Would that one of them would have the courage of a Luther or a Cromwell.
