Hmm, the full-shilling Anglicans will also sign a covenant against bigotry and against trampling on the civil rights of gays, as in Nigeria? And will they follow through on what they sign?

In recent days ECUSA have been giving a lot of witness that has given Christians everywhere much to think about. Certain they deserve to be banished outside the city for that.

Another point: the debate on all these issues is in flux. How define at what level of acceptance a church in the Anglican communion is to be located when within every church the faithful are developing in their thinking all the time?
