Washington Post reports on the behind the scenes politicking to get the "New Province" Recognised by the wider Anglican Communion
Episcopal Church experts and disaffected conservatives predicted yesterday that intense lobbying would soon begin over dissidents' plans to leave the church and create a new Anglican community in the United States.
The two sides will try to convince Anglican leaders worldwide either of the value or the cost of a second branch of the U.S. church, one that would be based less on geography than on theology.
Bishop Martyn Minns, a Virginia-based leader of the breakaway movement, confidently predicted victory. "I think we've got a good basis of support for what we're doing," he said
But experts on the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Communion said approval is by no means guaranteed.
