I'm in Bishop Lee's Diocese, too. I belong to one of the 5 or 6 large congregations in No. VA who are giving Bishop Lee more grey hair - well, making his hare white, I guess.

There were 3000 who met at "Plano East" where Bishop Dunca, former Bishop of Pittsburg was the keynote speaker.

It is my hope that the "Anglican Network" becomes a force for good and Orthodoxy in the Episcopal Church. My Rector & 2 Asistants are member and speak very little of it as it is trying to fly below the radar while at the same time, create a financial structure for support of Priests who have been summarily thrown out of their Churches (Malverne, Diocese of LI, e.g.,) and somehow get Orthodoxy back into ECUSA. I know - it's like believing in a parallel universe but it provides a way of not breaking with ECUSA while trying to separate from within somehow.

When I talke with friends of mine who are Priests and they haven't heard of or been to any Anglican Network meetings, I discover that they are very depressed and hopeless about the future of our Church. But when I get them to call one of those active in the AN here in NO. VA, they are encouraged, as they see the validity of what is being attempted.

Yes, the "Network" is actively being pursued by several in Bishop Lee's district. But like your parish leader, my rector speaks little of it either.

A couple of weeks ago, he did talk about the inadequacy of the Windsor report, and discussed (briefly and with subtlety) the "break", for lack of a better word. He said that it would be time consuming and messy. That was about all he said, and he didn't go into it much beyond that. I had to call someone to ask whether I heard it right, the message was so understated.
