The problem is that even if the Anglican Communion excises the cancer that is rotting the communion from the head, the remainder of the body will still be split into a more Orthodox and a more Reformed faction.

“The problem is that even if the Anglican Communion excises the cancer that is rotting the communion from the head, the remainder of the body will still be split into a more Orthodox and a more Reformed faction.”

As we Greeks say, a fish rots from the head down. Look at Anglicanism headed by the likes of the Arch Druid of Canterbury, the Great White Heretic of Canada and that silly woman heresiarch with the rainbow oven mitt for a mitre here in the States. Institutional white, Western, Northern Anglicanism is no longer anything recognizable as Christian. What assuredly IS recognizable are many of the traditional and orthodox Anglican communities here and around the Western world. It will be interesting to see if those groups, and for the matter the Global South, end up in communion with Rome or Holy Orthodoxy.
