AT First Things, Jordan Hylden sums up the most recent developments:

Not all conservatives have reached the point of giving up. But there is no way to escape from the conclusion that it will not be long before they will have no other choice. The recent actions of the Episcopal bishops have made the prospect of a conservative exodus—possibly numbering in the hundreds of thousands—more likely than ever. Schism, which so many had hoped to avoid, is today closer than it has ever been. And it does not appear that anything will be done to stop it.

I have to say that one of the points that puzzles me about this is the fact that most of the issues at play here in the ECUSA (or TEC, or whatever) are at play in the Anglican Church in Canada and the Church of England. No, they have not (to my knowledge) pushed it to the Gene Robinson level, but I think the broader sympathy – as well as support for, and in some places the practice of blessings of same-sex relationships, certainly – is there. Ah well.

Anyway, Fr. Dwight Longenecker, a convert from Anglicanism himself, has some points:

As someone who was an Anglican for fifteen years, I think I understand the objections Anglicans have to coming over the the Catholic Church. I would like to outline them, and then answer them. I hope this may spark discussion. Tell me if I left something out.
