” a sizeably minority versus a tiny fraction would be telling”

The problem is the “working within” crowd and the walking apart crowd. Many more, even in the USA, would come out if the orthodox majority would just take a definitive coming out stand. They should act more like “Baptists”.

In Charlottesville (the nearest city to me) there has been an "Anglican" church for at least 10 years. There are several Episcopal congregations all of whom are taking a "Well, WE'RE okay, so I'm just not going to worry about the Diocese or the National Church."

The Diocese is hurting, of course, because of the defection of two of it's largest and wealthiest congregations.

I don't know how it's going to shake out. I have assisted or "supplied" at bunches of these congregations. It's just sad.

Is ‘coming out’ a phrase that you meant w.r.t. the same sex issues? :)

All the same, it is going to be interesting, and probably a little bloody.
