Do you have any indication if the conservative opponents in the Anglican movement who are resisting the retreat from orthodoxy are closer to the old calvinist wing of anglicanism? Many of the old Calvinists went into the REC (Reformed Episcopal Church) when the prayer book was revised and women ordained.
The orthodox bishops that voted "no" run the gamut from very high quasi-Catholic to Biblically-based evangelical, but there is no Calvinist emphasis that I am aware of. The orthodox bishop that I know personally is a Southerner of the old school, and is rather a "broad churchman" than anything else.

Are you still with Episcopal Church ? Are you considering leaving ? if so, what are your thoughts ? As a life long member of 49 years I feel as though I'm being forced to decide. I can no longer look at the recent rejection of scripture as being the result of differing interpretations, rather this is blatant rejection of scripture, the articles of religion regarding the OT and its agreements with the world wide chruch.
