Canterbury-the See of, and Anglican Unity

http://www.virtueonline.org/portal/modules/news/article.php?storyid=7288

[Virtue Online] 18 Dec 2007--Never before has the See of Canterbury been under such criticism, even rejection, as in Advent 2007-especially in North America and parts of Africa. And this hostility seems bound to continue into 2008. It has come out in December 2007 as a response to the Advent Letter of the present incumbent of the See, Rowan Williams.

The "old Continuing Anglicans", who trace their beginnings to the secession from TEC, followed by the signing of The Affirmation of St Louis, in 1977, and the "new Continuing Anglicans", who have seceded in the last few years and generally look to Africa for succor, are different in many ways; but they both either reject in theory or in practice the role of the See of Canterbury as the center of unity of the Anglican Family.
