The current Archbishop of Canterbury is willing to sacrifice the already fracturing Anglican Communion in the name of maintaining a less doctrinally unified confederation of Anglican churches, all connected to Canterbury if not to each other.
Which may be the best that anyone who has a fondness for the Anglican Communion may be able to ask for. The schism between (very roughly) the North American churches and the much more conservative "Global South" churches over things like women priests, women bishops, and, most recently, gays in the church seems too great to bridge, and is widening. Seeking a less rigid union where such differences don't push people away from the table because there are other grown-up things to do looks to me to be, unfortunately, the better course.
Rather than sleeping in separate bedrooms, maybe it's more like visiting family staying at a hotel in town but showing up for Christmas dinner over the holidays — what unites us is greater than what divides us, but maybe it's just as well we don't push togetherness too far right now.
Archbishop of Canterbury plans to loosen ties of divided Anglican communion
Justin Welby is to suggest reorganising worldwide body as a group of churches no longer linked by a common doctrine
We do have a common doctrine. It’s called the Nicene Creed. Oh, I know that doesn’t mention icky sex or narsty wimmin bleeding on the altar, but it is our common doctrine.
OTOH, not having a direct connection with the likes of, say, Peter Akinola, would not cause me to lose any sleep.
