Southern Cone offers haven to disaffected US dioceses

[Church Times] 16 Nov 2007--Traditionalist dioceses wanting to secede from the Episcopal Church in the United States have been offered an ecclesiastical home in the Anglican Church of the Southern Cone of America.

The offer had come out of an ongoing dialogue with the disaffected dioceses, and in terms of who took the initiative, it was difficult to say which had been the chicken and which the egg, the Presiding Bishop, the Most Revd Greg Venables, said on Tuesday. Speaking from Buenos Aires, where he leads the smallest province of the Anglican Communion, he said the US dioceses in question had reached a point where they could not, in all conscience, stay within the Episcopal Church.
