Comments on: Three More Bishops… http://haligweorc.wordpress.com/2007/09/05/three-more-bishops/ Old English: Sanctuary (formed from the words "holy" and "work" thus what goes on in a sanctuary.) This is my sanctuary for writing on religion, academics, and the other things that ground my life.

He makes some good points about getting past these kinds of disagreements to focus on evangelization.

There was a 19th century "gentlemen's agreement" to divide the mission to the African continent between the low church and evangelical CMS and the somewhat more high church SPG. In addition the low church folks in Africa went through a massive charismatic revival (opposed by the Anglican missionaries at the time) right in line with "The Great Awakening" of Jonathan Edwards and George Whitefield, and ended up looking, sounding, and thinking like Baptists with mitres. And we are reaping the harvest of that division now. Yes, I think Caelius and Anastasia are right.

The potential Provinces then would be reduced to Tanzania and Central Africa (technically Moyer's patron.) I honestly think that Archbishop Malango would be a likely candidate to consecrate missionary bishops for the United States. He may be biding his time for sake of ecclesiology.

I cannot remember off the top of my head, however, which provinces they are...

(And, of course, Archbishop Gomez still has hope for the Covenant, so he can't lead the charge.)
