Dear quark,

I believe the laity still have to vote, am I correct in that? Is it your sense they might still stop this? Or has the train pretty much left the station?

Two separate houses must vote, the House of Delegates (priests + laity) and the House of Bishops (bishops). Will be a fight in the HOD because you have a narrow majority of traditional laity, but overwhelming leftist priests. Most likely will be passed by the HOD. The HOB is hopeless. Traditional bishops are far outnumbered by the leftists. This is near a done deal.

Schism is next. Traditionalists met in Northern Virginia in late July and have developed a strategy to break away after the convention. Probably involves affiliation with the Anglican Mission in America, an organization sponsored by the conservative African & Asian Primates and bishops. Ironic that the 3rd World should have to lead the way for the USA in matters of morality.

What bothers me is that a church can even consider this. When that which is wrong is considered to be ok or acceptable by the church, then the church IS no longer. What remains is an imposter.
