Tex Anglican has a very nice post addressing the actual timeline of the great global Anglican divorce. I commend it to you. I could be that nothing is officially resolved until General Convention 2012. This seems completely unfeasible for the conservatives. Something has got to give.

On an unrelated note, I am frequently asked by Catholics for my assessment of the “what’s going on in the Episcopal Church.” Most Catholics I meet are not happy or triumphalistic over the failures of the Episcopal Church. Most see their Episcopalians as “separated brethren” indeed and believe the scandals hurt all Christians. They know that the general witness of Christians is handicapped by the Episcopal craziness and pray for resolution. I’ve been impressed by the concern and sadness of Catholics over what is happening.
