This year's joint synods are the sequel to the 2017 joint synods wherein the Anglican Catholic Church (ACC), Anglican Province of America (APA), Anglican Church in America (ACA), and the Diocese of the Holy Cross (DOHC) entered into full communion with one another as an important step toward an organic union. As someone who has spent his entire life in the Continuum, it is hard to describe to outsiders how incredible it was to see this giant leap take place.

A few weeks ago, I received a widely circulated email from the Secretary of the Synod of the Church of Pakistan which was sharply critical of GAFCON following the visit of Archbishop Foley Beach last November at the invitation of the Bishop Azad Marshall, Bishop of Raiwind, and President of the National Council of Churches in Pakistan.

Church Militant, a conservative Catholic Internet news apostolate, keeps a close eye on the activities of liberals in the Catholic fold and is not shy about reporting such shenanigans.

The Catholic news site reported: "Area Catholics in the Diocese of Richmond are outraged that a Catholic church, where Mass is regularly offered, would be used for a Protestant denomination's ceremonies."

Linsley, who served as a priest in the Episcopal Church of the U.S.A. (ECUSA) for 16 years, renounced her orders and quit her denomination "as it moved toward a radical revision of the Gospel, setting aside the apostolic Tradition for its social justice agenda."

"As with many Anglicans, I believe that the Episcopal Church erred in 1976 when it departed from the all-male priesthood," observes Linsley, a pioneer in the field of biblical anthropology.
