Matt Kennedy+: How the House of Bishops Could Save the Anglican Communion
September 22, 2007

Where does this leave us? In an interesting position I would think. Division seems even more inevitable than compromise. If the Episcopal Church does not pull back from the brink and, subsequently, Lambeth invitations are not withdrawn from Episcopal bishops and, further, if invitations are not issued to Nigerian, Ugandan, Rwandan, and Kenyan bishops, then there is, seemingly, an insurmountable impasse. The Windsor “Process” will be at an end. While the Church of Nigeria and some others will not, probably, declare independence from Canterbury, they will not meet. They will proceed as if Canterbury did not exist and as if the Episcopal Church is no longer a member of the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. All of this, I think, will be perfectly justified and yet terrible. But there is, to my mind, only one last and quite improbable scenario that might prevent this outcome.
