Cavalcanti on ‘Anglicanism: The System in Crisis’

http://acl.asn.au/cavalcanti-on-communion/

[Anglican Church League] 19 Jul 2008--The first indication of inadequacy is the fact that the Anglican Communion is an international organism led by a national established church, which, through political mechanisms chooses its principal leader. 163 nations of the 164 which comprise the Communion, have no participation in this decision making process, and are compelled to wait passively the decree of the British government. It would be naïve to think that these 163 countries – some of which contain the majority of the Communion’s membership – would accept indefinitely such an arrangement, the product of an imperial history, and choose not to pursue changes in this process, which, in one way or another includes everyone.
