Touchstone magazine has had some excellent articles over the years on the Anglican/Episcopalian church. The only true synod left today is the African convention, as the American and British have now left the tenets of the faith behind in order to be politically correct. Many of the moral leaders still left in America have now sought reconciliation with the catholic church.

MOST of the developing world provinces of the Anglican communion are VERY orthodox, and growing too, not those only in Africa. Even in Africa there are something like 60 MILLION+ orthodox/bible-believing Anglicans--growing by the 100s of thousands every year.

So outside of the West, things are really looking up for the World's 2nd largest Christian denomination.

Even in England--despite that country's wholesale abandonment of the Church (something less than 5% attend church at all), of those who still do attend church, something like 1/3 are conservative/evangelical types--a higher percentage than those in mainline American denominations.

In the USA the newly formed Anglican Church in North America (ACNA)--with conservative/orthodox EX-Episcopalian American bishops, working with African and other foreign bishops, are doing well in building up the NEW Anglicans here in the states.

Worldwide Anglicanism is more and more getting away from depending on the weak and ineffective leadership of Canterbury...as the robust churches in the developing world are asking themselves 'We're following the lead of the decrepit English Church because what?'

Over 100,000 Americans worship in non-Episcopal Anglican (usually ACNA) churches now. So...Anglicanism as a very old form of orthodox Christianity, still exists and is growing, thank you--in spite of the apostasy and dissolution of the Episcopal Church.
