flockwoodA majority of the Episcopal Church’s standing committees have consented to the election of an openly-lesbian woman as bishop suffragan of Los Angeles, according to the Episcopal News Service.
A majority of the church’s “bishops with jurisdiction” must also give their consent. That hurdle will likely be cleared shortly.
What impact, if any, that this has on the worldwide Anglican Communion remains to be seen.

If they follow the model of the schismatic Anglicans in America, the Anglican Communion will kick out the ECUSA but sue to keep their annual subsidy.

I suspect that annual subsidy is the only reason they haven’t kicked us out already — they can’t afford to.
