The Church of England Has Competition Now?


The African churches need to associate with the Copts, as the Patriarch of Alexandria is recognized by Orthodoxy as having jurisdiction of all of Africa. The Anglicans and Catholics overstepped when they sent missionaries rather than working under his direction. Further, OP Melitos and the Great Synod recognized the Church of England as having valid orders - making it a Great Church. As the practice in Orthodoxy is Autocephality, the African Anglican bishops would have a free hand.

South American provinces should link with the Patriarch of Washington, who has oversight over North and South America in Orthodoxy. 

The Australians need to join the Catholics as an Ordinate.

Other mainline protestant churches should follow the lead of each of these regions. It is time for unity rather than protest. At some point, the Catholics will also rejoin Constantinople in a more formal fashion, as can the remaining Church of England and Anglican Communion.

The Evangelicals cannot join a Communion that is only symbolic for them. I recommend attending a mainline protestant Real Presence Eucharist and experience the difference that this makes in experiencing the Lord in their hearts - then act accordingly.
