I am not always a fan of the language of "white privilege," but it is certainly discernible here. Eight Episcopal dioceses in the USA have fewer than 1,000 people in church on an average Sunday as of 2019 (there are more "micro-dioceses" now). In 2019, the diocese of Northern Michigan claimed 385 attended its churches on an average Sunday -- that's fewer than a good many individual Anglican congregations. This cannot be serious. And these micro-dioceses are, mostly, led by white bishops.

In 1908, during the reign of Edward VII, the issue of divorce was first raised.

In 1920, contraception crept into Lambeth discussions.

At the 1930 confab, the issue of abortion was broached and the marriage bed was to be considered undefiled although married couples were allowed to space pregnancies.

In 1948, the Lambeth bishops were first faced with women's ordination by the wartime ordination of Florence Li Tim-Oi in Hong Kong.

The question remains, however: will the Archbishop of Canterbury even allow this motion to come to the floor on Monday? If so, will he ultimately add his name to those of the GSFA bishops who represent 75% of the Anglican Communion?

"It has never been contemplated that we should assume the functions of a general synod of all the churches in full communion with the Church of England, and take upon ourselves to enact canons that should be binding upon those here represented. We merely propose to discuss matters of practical interest, and pronounce what we deem expedient in resolutions which may serve as safe guides to future action."
