Judging by the Anglican Communion website, it's the TEC diocese that will be recognized. That website shows the Diocese of San Joaquin to be part of TEC, not the SC, and it shows the Diocese of Recife to be part of the Igreja Episcopal do Brasil, not the Southern Cone.<BR/><BR/>Thus, a diocese of Fort Worth that purports to leave TEC and join the SC will be neither a constituent member of the Anglican Communion nor in communion with the See of Canterbury and will therefore be in violation of proposed Article 1.Paul Powershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04833212693999583069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25082628.post-56508473591089842322008-10-01T08:53:00.000-05:002008-10-01T08:53:00.000-05:00Hear, hear!Hear, hear!Tobias Stanislas Haller BSGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08047429477181560685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25082628.post-38125635715822867642008-09-30T23:17:00.000-05:002008-09-30T23:17:00.000-05:00I think members of the diocese of Ft.

Bishop Iker would do well to realise likewise -- once he retires, he should not have control over what follows.Caminantehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16610142955176992982noreply@blogger.com
