The Round that Misfired: The first bullet point and the unecessary discussion.

O fnotre:

"It is of some interest to note that Neela Banerjee, writing for the New York Times, quotes Canon James M. Rosenthal of the Anglican Communion Office, who said, "“This is one voice, and other voices need to come in and say whether
the Episcopal Church has indeed satisfied” the primates’ demands.”

So the JSC is not the end of the matter. The Archbishop of Canterbury is hard at work getting more opinions. They will surely follow and some will be unpleasant.

It is getting to be rather difficult to know if any of this makes any difference any more. Those who are intent on having some new entity to which they can relate will find a way to do so. There will be weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth. There will be wreckage in the fast lane, just as the strange prophet of excess, Hunter S. Thompson said. No Province will be safe, not in the East, the West, the North or the South.

The rest of us will be The Episcopal Church, a lumbering community of folk who don't move fast enough in doing justice and don't stop long enough to love mercy. But at least, on a good day, we try. On bad days we screw up just like everyone else. It's called being human."
