Text Ticker: Conservatives Expected to Split Episcopal Church

Another chapter in the great history of Christian schisms: first, the controversies of Nicea. Then a filioque and the sack of Constantinople. Then Martin Luther's inner conviction told him to get a wife. Henry XIII wanted to get rid of his. Now the bishop wants a husband.

And not for them only do I pray, but for them also who through their word shall believe in me. That they all may be one, as thou, Father, in me, and I in thee; that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. (John 17:20-21)
