The conservative wing has become a few feathers

Observers from the left and right have observed how few conservatives are part of the General Convention. GC09 operates in a post-ACNA world where most of the conservatives who were once part of pecusa have now left for the new Anglican province in North America. What this means for pecusa was noted months if not years ago - there is little push-back as pecusa moves further and further away from the Anglican Communion. More centrist bishops like the Bishop of West Virginia can point out that the passing of DO25 is a clear statement of repudiation of the Windsor Report guidelines and the express will of the Communion, but that doesn't matter. What matters is that pecusa liberals have very little to restrain them. So, liberals like the Bishop of Central New York will vote for DO25 and let the chips fall where they may. The conservative wing is now just a few feathers and they can flap as loudly as they are able but it is futile to stop GC09 from flying further and further away from the Anglican Communion.
