Telegraph: Anglican schism means Archbishop Rowan must act
So the Anglican Communion has finally split.
Having written countless times that the Church was “teetering on the brink of schism last night”, the American Church has gone over the edge.
No more hanging around, it’s jumped.
When I saw Rowan Williams on Saturday, he said that he was hopeful that they would continue to hold the line agreed by the Communion that practising homosexuals should not be consecrated as bishops.
He had been out to the General Convention, which is being held in Anaheim, California, and had come back reasonably optimistic.
In deciding to ignore the pleas for this policy to be upheld, the Americans have clearly shaken him warmly by the hand before stabbing him in the front.
