[The Church of England Newspaper] March 3, 2005--Anglicans will be deeply grateful to the Primates for their wisdom and theological faithfulness at Newry. At last they have realised that they can actually take action, they are freed from the mantra that no action could be taken against maverick elements. The Anglican family has conducted itself with exemplary courtesy towards a divergent group, but at the end of the day no family can allow one member to destroy it. The Primates have decided, and not before time, to be Primates of the global family and to remove privileges from the wayward member. In sporting terms, the yellow card has been shown to ECUSA and her Canadian sister, a time for reflection has been called. The family as a whole can breathe again and relax now that the vexatious sisters have been sent away to reconsider their future. We sincerely hope that the three years out of the Anglican Consultative Council does indeed help.
