It will be recognized by the usual suspects, and will seek same from the ACC in 2009. Will not get it, but, nevertheless, in fact it will be acknowledged by half of the Anglican world.<BR/><BR/>Cantuar will not acknowledge and will not dis-acknowledge the new province, trying to keep the doors open.<BR/>The AC (As we knew it) will continue as a sort of Brigadoon-esque virtual reality.<BR/>The Southern Cone will go back to their business as usual.<BR/>The Covenant and the Windsor Process will cease to be relevant.<BR/>And several million dollars that could be quite useful to feed the hungry, to heal the sick, and to achieve the MDG will be used, instead, to pay lawyers sine die.<BR/><BR/>And that's that.
