To those of us teetering on the edge of leaving the Episcopal Church USA, this is just another nudge.

Unfortunately this looney is nominal head of the worldwide Anglican communion. The vast majority of Anglicans today are from Africa, and the quite-conservative African Anglican bishops may not put up with this quackery this time.

If Abp Akinola sets up a rival church, it will be very tempting for those orthodox ECUSA members still in the fold.

My last nudge was @ 1996 when the Lambeth Bishops council decided not to censure or defrock a Pennsylvania bishop for ordaining an active homosexual. Their given reason after 18 months of deliberation was to not make any decision since there were no specific rules covering that specific incident or specific type of incident. They held that the wording in the 39 ECUSA articles of faith was too vague and that further ajudication was necessary.

We saw the writing on the wall and the entire family crossed the Tiber and never looked back. Aside from the beauty of the Rite 1 service - we see no reason to ever go back to a place whre weekly prayers and parish resources were offered for Aids victims while the Sunday school was run on a shoestring.
