That's My Church!
It's a Carnival of the Anglican Crisis over at CaNN. Click n' scroll for the latest from all the fronts.
UPDATE: Her Presiding High Priestessness speaks. She's shocked, shocked! that anybody would dare to violate the ancient precedents of the Church:
The recent decisions by some members of congregations in Virginia to leave the Episcopal Church and ally with the Anglican Church of Nigeria have no cognizance in our polity. Ancient precedent (from as early as the fourth century) in the Church requires bishops to respect diocesan boundaries, and to refrain from crossing into or acting officially in dioceses other than their own. As a Church we cannot and will not work to subvert that ancient precedent by facilitating the establishment of congregations which are purportedly responsible to bishops in other parts of the Anglican Communion within the diocesan boundaries of the Episcopal Church.
Damn those crazy radicals! (BTW, I trust that the PB has at least had the decency to scrape the "Speak Truth To Power" bumper-sticker off the back of her Volvo by now.)

Seems to me that if you folks had been respecting diocesan boundaries since the fourth century that you would be Catholics now, not Episcopalians. Has she not noticed that?
