"There is a possibility also that he may be found on the perimeter of the modern ECUSA in a congregation that, against all the odds, continues to worship the Lord using the traditional PECUSA Book of Common Prayer and its 1940 Hymnal."

I am having similar problems in the Catholic Church. Cross out "ECUSA" in this article, and a few other words, and replace them with Catholic terms like "Vatican II", and he could just as easily be talking about the state of the Catholic Church. There is even a small, but growing, number of Traditional Catholics who are trying to follow the teachings of the Church as they were before the introduction of the Vatican II liberalisms. The Pope even seems to be sympathetic, and might even try to formalize the old Latin Rite a bit more than it is today. Most Traditionalists I have met seem to be happy to co-exist with the New Rite, thinking "they can do their thing, and we can do ours" (of course, there are exceptions). However, most of the Church hierarchy despise the Traditional Movement, and would like nothing better than to stamp it out completely. They don't want anyone doing anything unless it is "their way". What a messed up world!!
