How many in each camp? If the former group constituted more than half, would not TLC have said "most"? In any event, hardly a rousing endorsement.<BR/><BR/>Second, the CCP leadership is expected to "set aside territorial issues and ego struggles". And what of the GAFCON bishops? Should they not lead the way by setting aside their own "territorial issues" and "ego struggles"?<BR/><BR/>Just asking....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10326675.post-43629738092081313062008-11-18T08:00:00.000-05:002008-11-18T08:00:00.000-05:00The Night of the Long Knives starts in January.

"<BR/><BR/>Small and very tenuous? The ASA of the new province (or "thingy" if you prefer) will be about 100,000 or about 14% the ASA of the Episcopal denomination. <BR/><BR/>Radically conservative? The Jerusalem declaration would evoke a big yawn if presented 30 years ago here or anywhere else in the world in the present.
