No surprises here. It's what's been expected for months now. Below are a number of links to different stories about the formation of what is being called a "New Province".
Pittsburgh Post Gazette-
Bishop Robert Duncan of the Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh (Anglican) has been named primate- and archbishop-designate of a proposed new body of 100,000 theologically conservative Anglicans in North America, which hopes to win recognition from the global Anglican Communion.Archbishop-designate Duncan, whose diocese left the Episcopal Church in October, said he was "elated" that 30 representatives of eight groups with ties to the Anglican tradition in the U.S. and Canada had unanimously proposed a constitution for a body called the Anglican Church in North America. They met yesterday in Wheaton, Ill."I believe we're at the beginning of something that is very significant for the Christian church in North America and for the Anglican Communion worldwide," he said.http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/08339/932603-85.stmWashington Times
