They're talking about a Uniate relationship, we would have our own bishops and ecclesiastical structure with our dioceses.

I think you guys would defidently get that. I wonder though if doctrinal problems can be bridged such as an all male clergy (of course yours would continue to include married men without a problem), prohibition on birth control (despite the widespread diobedience by the faithful), and papal infallability (which is a rather limited concept, but still a binding one)

Actually I'm not in this boat right now, having left ECUSA for a traditional Anglican denomination a couple decades back. And we have an all-male clergy.

prohibition on birth control (despite the widespread diobedience by the faithful), and papal infallability (which is a rather limited concept, but still a binding one)

I would suspect these would be bigger issues. But can you enlighten me: How is papal infallibility a "limited concept"?
