They met in Philadelphia to produce a "Miracle at Philadelphia". They wanted to renew God's covenant with his people, and they inserted moral values into a constitution that has lasted unto today. These men built a system of government based on the state constitutions which were based on the covenants of the Old Testament.

Or, going further afield, do we go to Rome? (This is in fact a live option for many people, and especially given the current Pope and his predecessor.) I was listening to Olivia Newton-John's version of "Ave Maria" the other night - I really was - and felt that sort of tug which many Anglican people feel, although they tend not to talk about it until... Afterward (Edith Wharton - Dean's Contest).

However, even in the depression and anxiety of Anglican life, there is talk concerning the renewal of Anglicanism in North America and the forming of a new Province of the Anglican Communion (to take the place of the present "sick" ones). Concerning this, I have made several proposals-or adapted ideas first articulated by others or in dialogue. Here they are.
