You know that creaking sound a rope makes just before snapping...

I think I hear it now:
Episcopal bishops rebuff demand from Anglican leaders

Of note:

The plan to put conservative parishes under an international "pastoral council" would replace local governance with "a distant and unaccountable group of prelates" for "the first time since our separation from the papacy in the 16th century," the US bishops said in a written resolution.

Oh, the horror! Isn't that foreign "group of prelates" at least accountable to God. Surely He's up to the task.
