Ellington, it seems (one reason anyways) that due to the number of openly gay and female clergy in the Anglican Church there are a lot of unhappy Anglicans. There have been talks going on for quite some time and now the Pope has basically opened the door for them to return to the Roman Catholic Church.

Stay tuned, this oughtta be quite interesting!
