The No Anglican Covenant Coalition has published some Observations on the Archbishop of Canterbury’s Presidential Address and the Anglican Covenant Debate in the Church of England General Synod,November 2010 which are available here as a PDF, but also as a web page over here.
Colin Coward has published Anglican Covenant – dangerous progress in Synod? Or GAFCON statement – dangerous threat withdraws? and also Should LGBT Anglicans be more suspicious of the Covenant?
Adrian Worsfold has taken a rather lighter approach, first with Chadderbox on the Synod Vote and then with Proposal for the Communion.
Earlier, he was a bit more serious, see The Narrowing Church of England and Be Realistic .

“At the same time, there was no such thing as ‘gracious restraint’ on the part of the Border-Crossing Provinces of GAFCON into the territory of North America, into which they spawned ‘ACNA'”
Quite right. And Bp. Minns’ outfit has shown no ‘gracious restraint’ is persuing lawsuits that seek to steal property held in trust for TEC by the Diocese of Virginia. Nor have I heard anything from the ABC in condemnation of said attempted theft, or perhaps it was a very quiet one.
Perhaps we can look forward to a new video game: “Grand Theft Ecclesiastic.”
