Maybe dividing into two churches is indeed the answer, as Virginia Myers competently suggests. I don't mind giving up being a member of the Episcopal Church; Godspeed to the liberals. But I will go to church with them for the rest of my life before I give up a membership in the Anglican Communion. If the Anglican Communion expels the Episcopal Church for apostasy, well and good. Maybe we remnant can remain in communion. Alternatively, perhaps the Anglican Communion will accept two national churches in the U.S. Is there precedent? Will Lambeth consider it? The Lutherans, Presbyterians and Methodists of whom Ms. Myers wrote do not have the issue that we do, of identity with Canterbury. Resolve the Anglicanism question first, before talk of splitting. Meantime, the American Anglican Council (AAC) may be the gospel option.
