Is conservative American Anglicanism confused with respect to the biblical doctrine of the Church? You can't be "inside" "not in communion" and submit to "alternative oversight" all at the same time and call yourselve a visible church. At the end of the day this arrangement can only be justified by appeal to the "invisible church" of the true Anglicans. And a real body is not invisible.

Can One Justify Current Episcopal Ecclesiology?
Last time I counted there are six Episcopal diocese who have appealed for alternative primatial oversight. And yet if I understand it correctly (and I may not), these six diocese will remain be members of ECUSA. And yet at the same time they will not be "in communion" with ECUSA.
