A church constitution, to be unveiled December 3 at Wheaton College near Chicago, would unite some 100,000 disaffected former Episcopalians who now adhere to various conservative Anglican archbishops abroad. Rev. Daryl Fenton says breakaway Episcopalians will soon unveil a new church constitution.

“What’s being planned is the organizing of a new Anglican Church in the U.S. that will be related to the rest of the worldwide Anglican Communion, and that will distinguish itself from the Episcopal Church in the U.S. by virtue of its holding to historic doctrines of the faith,” he explains.
The Anglican alternative to the U.S. Episcopal Church would likely be led by Pittsburgh Bishop Robert Duncan, the leader of one of four dioceses that have seceded because of differences over biblical authority and interpretation. The consecration of an openly homosexual Episcopal bishop in 2003 has alienated the U.S. branch of the Anglican Communion from its own conservatives and from Anglicans abroad.
