Divine Division.

An editorial in The Guardian today is worth reading, for those interested in the goings on in the Anglican Communion.
What happens next is not about gay bishops, nor same-sex weddings, nor polygamy. Rather it is about the church's architecture and the degree of autonomy enjoyed by its constituent parts. Faced with the terrifying idea of first establishing and then policing the doctrinal purity for the core churches implicit in the twin-track approach, the rival factions are being challenged to stop it happening. In the end, though, Dr Williams will have to choose between unity - and bigotry.
I posted a somewhat related opinion regarding the future of Christianity in a post last week.
