[Instute on Religion and Democracy] 20 Nov 2008--Despite the flurry of organizational activity among Anglican conservatives following the controversial 2003 ordination of Gene Robinson as Bishop of New Hampshire, some groups had expressed pessimism saying that a new North American Anglican Province was many years away. If forming a unified front was possible at all. As little as a decade ago, there were few Anglican congregations in the United States that were formally recognized by any other Anglican branches around the world.
In a recent weekly newsletter from the American Anglican Council, CANA Bishop David Anderson said:
“We feel with some real certainty that [a new North American province] will be a reality before Easter of 2009, and perhaps much sooner. We are actively at work with the other Common Cause Partner (CCP) church judicatories to develop the infrastructure and financing for the new province, protocols for joint recognition of orders, and inter-province governance.”
