For completeness of your list, you might add this. The GSFA includes provinces that ordain women, but for them that is not the issue.

A predictably negative response to the new Archbishop’s appointment from GAFCON. CEEC appears to be more gracious in its welcome but by paragraph three they have defaulted to complaining about Living in Love and Faith, and theme looms over the remainder of their piece. Against such a background Archbishop Sarah will need our prayers for grace and wisdom!
