Will this save or break the Communion?

[Times Online] 8 May 2007--One thing that puzzles me through all this, however, is why so many of us assume that this is part of a process of breaking up. Why cannot it be seen the other way round, in the bottle-half-full tradition, as a way of staying together? Surely this action from CANA should actually be part of the solution, and not part of the problem. The two sides, unable to agree, can in developments such as this remain in communion with Canterbury and agree to live alongside each other, in parallel but separate jurisdictions within the same geographical boundaries.

understand this goes against the tradition of diocesan inviolability, and it is funny how TEC is prepared to ditch tradition in almost every area except this. It does seem strange to read Bishop Schori critising Akinola for violating 'the ancient customs of the Church'. But in the age of globalisation, this tradition is one that really does begin to seem out of place in the modern Church. I am not the only one asking this question. Father Paul wonders also what is so wrong about having two Anglican provinces functioning within the same borders. I suppose what it really comes down to is money and property. And perhaps power. As this blogger says, the Global South powerplay is just beginning.
