Wow. Very interesting.
Henry VIII is turning in his grave. [Serves him right.]

Lots of people including ancestors of mine would be spinning if it were to happen. Personally I don';t think it will.

I was surprised to see this reported today as the Primates meetings are going on in Tanzania. It appears all is not going well for the orthodox. The revisionists appear to be winning. I don't think there will be any chance of a merger after this meeting is over, maybe some bishops, priests, laymen will swim but I don't think it will be a full merger. Rome doesn't want the revisionists, do they?

Henry VIII is turning in his grave. [Serves him right.] Does this mean that the kings or queens of England would surrender their role as titular head of the Anglican Church? One less reason for the monarchy.

Henry VIII started turning in his grave when we started using English for the services, allowing married priests and distributing Communion in both kinds (innovations he did not allow while he was alive).

Of course the gay clergy probably have turned him into a contortionist.
