The Anglican Communion continues its relentless division into two groups: holders of traditional values and holders of New Age values. The Anglican majority, mostly third world, hold traditional, biblical values. The majority of Anglicans in Britain and North America have advanced beyond the Bible and tradition. The majority in Pittsburg have decided that they are more spiritually akin to the third world majority than to the U.S. majority.

From a Pittsburg Post-Gazette article, Pittsburgh Episcopal Diocese votes to secede:
Pittsburgh Episcopal Diocese votes to secede [/] Saturday, October 04, 2008 [/] By Ann Rodgers, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
The Episcopal diocese of Pittsburgh voted today to secede from the Episcopal Church and realign with the Anglican Province of the Southern Cone, based in Buenas Aires, Argentina.
Archbishop Gregory Venables of the Southern Cone has named former Pittsburgh bishop Robert Duncan as his Episcopal commissary to the Episcopal Diocese of Pittsburgh of the Anglican Province of the Southern Cone. At least 17 of an original 74 churches are expected to continue with the Episocal Church of the United States. Both dioceses will be calling separate conventions before the end the year to reorganize and elect a bishop. [My ellipses and emphasis]
