The Anglican Communion & the Trajectory We Are On

http://www.standfirminfaith.com/index.php/site/article/15298/

[Stand Firm] 11 Aug 2008--It is clear that Rowan Williams' standard of success for the Anglican Communion's instruments of unity -- as I predicted earlier -- is "many of the bishops came to Lambeth and talked with each other.

"With that as his standard of success, and with the corresponding failure of action and discipline by the Communion, thus far and over the past five years, I think it is probably clear to most Anglicans on whatever side that, whether it is three years, or five years, or 10 years from now, certain provinces, perhaps 5-6, will send the Archbishop of Canterbury a "Dear John" letter, and found a new Anglican global entity. At that point we will have two competing global Anglican entities, with different Primates and Provinces pledging allegiances to one or the other. I think that will be a wretched loss for both Anglican entities, but that is the trajectory that we are on.
