Seems like they are meeting, or have already met, in Jerusalem (of all places) to hammer out a position statement among other activities.<BR/><BR/>Yes, if stuff like this just has to happen, I too take some comfort in knowing I'm not the only one who has to deal with it.Frank Bellizzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07949066335378651585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10020592.post-77937779505957117432008-06-24T15:54:00.000-05:002008-06-24T15:54:00.000-05:00I've been watching this Anglican story for several...I've been watching this Anglican story for several years. Most who are conservative in the U.S. seem to end up in the Roman Catholic Church, and others move over to Orthodox parishes. I haven't seen any firm statistics, though.<BR/><BR/>There are split-off groups that aren't considered part of the Anglican Communion, and there are also parishes in the U.S. that have placed themselves under overseas bishops. How's that for outsourcing?<BR/><BR/>It is regrettable that there will be conservatives boycotting the meeting. I understand why they are doing it, but that just means they won't have a voice or vote in what happens.<BR/><BR/>A schism seems inevitable, but it may take longer than everyone seems to think. Things with the Anglicans always seem to come to a head, with everyone saying "this is it," and then the crisis hits with parishes leaving and members dropping out, but with no real massive split.<BR/><BR/>We shall see. Interesting topic, and nice not to really "have a horse in the race." At least, for now.Adam Gonnermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08975190849449996353noreply@blogger.com
