That's unfortunate - I know there is a low-church branch of Anglicans who really do consider themselves to be more Protestant than Anglo-Catholic, and I'm sure they wouldn't be interested in going to Rome. But the two African bishops I met (who were brought along by an American Episcopal priest or bishop) were definitely not evangelical in tendency, so maybe some of them would be considering it, on a church by church or diocese by diocese basis.

Dear livius,

I'm sure that any generalization about African Anglicans has exceptions.

However, my understanding is that there's a difference between low church, high church, and broad church, vs. Anglo-Catholic and evangelical. My understanding is that high vs. low is more about liturgy, and Catholic vs. evangelical is more about theology (although, to me, logically, high church would seem to fit better with Anglo-Catholics and low church with evangelicals).

I've pinged AnAmericanMother who can give a better, more detailed explanation.
