#1 This will be the final thing that splinters the episcopals. The liberal churches will remain, and wither and die as they have been. They have become so open minded that the wind blows through - when you stand for nothign you will fall for anything.

The Orthodox ones will join with the African churches, and continue to thrive. this process has already begun with many of the larger and more historical Episcopal churches in the US, including the one where Patrick Henry worshiped.

#2 You have to love it. The old church died and the new one grew up from the ashes of its ministry. The sickly ol' Episcopalian geezer has been trying to keep the kids kowtowing by threatening to cut them out of the will. It looks like the kids finally got the gumption to break free and live their own life. God does indeed work in mysterious ways.

#5 The Episcopal Church is dying in this country, and the Anglican Church is in decline in the UK. The Anglicans in Africa on the other hand have large and growing communities. Africa is the future of the Anglican Church, with the Archbishop of Nigeria to soon outshine the Archbishop of Canterbury.
One of the main threats the Episcopal bishops in the US have used is physical expulsion from church property of any and all who challenge their right to rewrite the Gospel and Christian tradition. Episcopal congregations that built churches over 50 or 60 years are being told that they do NOT own any of the buildings, and that they will be locked out if they leave the Episcopal diocese they are in.
