If the whole “Anglican angst” saga starts to sound like schism is practically a done deal, it’s because a lot of the press coverage tends to focus on the conflict, and quite often (and annoyingly so) the first and juiciest quote in a story is often by a big-fish conservative, such as in the Chicago Trib’s story about the boundary-crossing visit by Archbishop Akinola of Nigeria to the Chicago suburb of Wheaton next Sunday.

It was pretty choppy as there was wind kicking up, so we didn’t stay out long for our first snorkel outing of the trip. [kml_flashembed movie="http://www.youtube.com/v/dDpdbb9gDoQ" width="400" height="326" wmode="transparent" /] We had a nice breakfast of Kona coffee, toast, and passionfruit jam, after getting up at some ungodly pre-dawn hour because of the time difference – as per usual, David was up before me and made the coffee.

The thing is, this particular church has apparently been split before, as there are TWO churches named “Resurrection” in…
