Fr Kendall says it well:
In a time of judgment the truth is revealed in moments like this, and it can be quite painful. So why does the New York Times get it, the Times-Picayune get it, Integrity get it, and people in the Anglican Communion and the Episcopal Church who should know better not get [...]

Anglicans Online in their weekly commentary, make some, at least superficially, “surprising” admissions about the term “orthodox”:
It’s become common for Anglicans who are not comfortable with the contemporary church to refer to themselves as ‘orthodox’. That venerable word when applied to Christians has several meanings in the dictionary, but the generally accepted meaning of that [...]

Druid and Christian, Pagan and Christian, Muslim and Christian? Apparently, there are those within churches claiming the name of Christ who believe the term “Christian” is adjectival, a nominal label that one may wear at one’s own choosing. Just as we have Italian Americans, African Americans, and Arab Americans, now, in some religious [...]

Perhaps it’s that it’s the fast. Perhaps it’s because I just ended my first evening of my summer logic class–after a full day of work, mind you–and I’m a bit tired. Perhaps it’s that after three confessions, now I really truly am beginning to realize that it’s going to get a whole lot worse–I’m going [...]

It happens that St. Augustine of Canterbury’s feast day was spread over this entire Pentecost weekend. On Saturday, Anglicans and Orthodox celebrated his feast. On Sunday, Rome celebrated. And yesterday (according to my St. James calendar hanging on my wall at work) his feast was celebrated on Traditional Western calendars (not sure who that includes).
Why [...]

Chris Johnson has a post where several Anglicans detail how they left ECUSA for Rome or Orthodoxy, or how they are currently contemplating doing so. As of this post there are about 100 replies.

Those of you familiar with the journey of Alice Linsley, former female priest in ECUSA, now the newly-illumined Jandy in the Orthodox Church, will be interested in an interview published online. Go here: From Canterbury to Constantinople.
What I find interesting about the reaction to her conversion is that it seems that outright heresies, a [...]

The Living Church news organ, has an informative piece by Rev. George Conger on the behind-the-scenes negotiations that went on during the recent Anglican primates meeting.

Some of us former Episcopalians still, out of sympathy, nostalgia or perhaps a disturbing neurosis, still keep our ears perked for news a la the Anglican world. For those like myself who became an Episcopalian as an adult, out of a deliberative and conscious choice, we had hoped to find in the Episcopal Church that [...]

The Global South primatial bishops of the Anglican Communion recently issued the Kigali Communiqu (emphases added):
