Conservatives from the world's largest Anglican provinces who are angered by liberal thinking in churches in North America and elsewhere plan to create a global fellowship that challenges worldwide Anglican unity but stops short of a formal split.

The plan is expected to be adopted Sunday, on the final day of the Global Anglican Future Conference in Jerusalem. The summit was called by Anglican leaders in Africa and parts of North America and Australia who are outraged by what they consider a "false gospel" in liberal churches

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, shame on them. The reality is that Africa may be home to the fastest growing churches, but they are not the wealthiest churches, and money talks. Where do they think all the money comes from that the Archbishop uses to support those programs in third world nations? As far as congregations leaving the the U.S., they are free to go, but they won't be taking anything with them. According to cannon law, the physical church buildings belong to the diocese, not the parish.
