From last week, the Anglican Communion exists in two different realities, or perhaps two different dimensions.

It may be not unlike the difference between the empirical world of Newtonian  physics where the rules are solidly in place and determine what happens, and a form of “quantum ecclesial world” where cause and effect are more random and follow different dynamics.

A number of the Anglican Primates, representing something like 80 per cent of the Anglican membership worldwide met together in Kigali, Rwanda, to respond to the Church of England’s General Synod legitimising the blessing of homosexual partnerships.
