For the 700 delegates from 16 countries gathered here in Ridgecrest, NC that includes a number of archbishops and bishops from the Global South, it is apparent that the realignment, one might say the rebirth, of authentic Anglicanism is now truly underway. Nothing it seems can stop it.
From the dark days when he was tossed out of the Episcopal Church as a bishop to his escalation as Archbishop of the Anglican Church in North America, it has been a long hard ride for Robert Duncan. That he has achieved it while drawing together a group of loosely-knit, very independent-minded Anglicans of more stripes than Joseph's coat of many colors, is no small achievement.
He has walked through ecclesiastical minefields, stood tall against raging egos, pushed and cajoled a group of Anglican leaders whose turf they jealously guard and brought them together under one roof. Out of it has come the Anglican Church in North America. There are enough purple shirts here that should mildly worry The Episcopal Church.
