I received this response from another Priest I know about the article aand I think it bears repeating:

"When I think about the ABC I often recall that England is an Island and they have had 1000 years to learn to live with each other. And some times the decision making process doesn't go quickly. Cromwell in, King out; Cromwell dead, a monarch back for good, though clearly subordinate to parliament. Henry VIII made the church in England the Church of England, then it went back to Rome with Bloody Mary, then finally became a clearly independent church under Elizabeth. I don't think the ABC is inclined to move quickly; the mother church, his church, has resolved matters slowly. I'm concerned that the Primates in Africa now will want to move more quickly that ABC will and they will split even the Orthodox Anglicans in the process."

Perhaps, but think how quickly TEC moved. THAT's where the split is originating.
