Bravo to the Religious News Service for headline accuracy. So many major newspapers irresponsibly persist in substituting Anglican Church for ACNA.

Thank you, Roger. Just so others know, Roger is not just an economist. He is a Nobel Prize winner. On October he will be a mere citizen with many others defending the Constitution. #NoKings

#ACNA says in a statement that they will make no statement. "You may well note that our declaration made no mention of the newly appointed Archbishop of Canterbury. That silence was deliberate. To single out a person would have been to suggest that our identity still revolves around that See." ⚓
