FAQ: Isn’t the ACNA just the CCP with a new name and an Archbishop? What will change?

[Stand Firm] 14 Jan 2009--Forging a consolidated unity out of a confederated plurality is a perplexing task for any organization, government, business or church, but it is especially so for the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA) because the ACNA is made up of ten formerly independent jurisdictions: AMIA, CANA, REC, the Diocese of Pittsburgh, the Diocese of Quincy, the Diocese of San Joaquin, the Diocese of Fort Worth, the Anglican Church of Kenya, the Province of the Southern Cone, and the Anglican Church of Uganda. Creating unity out of this particular plurality replete as it is with theological and ecclesiological diversity may seem, at first, an impossible task but a close reading of the Constitution reveals a workable plan for achieving that end...

I disagree with Matt Kennedy's assessment of the provisional ACNA constitution and canons but I thought that the readers of Anglicans Ablaze would be interested in reading it.
