Ezeliel 34:5 “They were scattered for want of a shepherd. They were food for every beast of the field and were scattered.”

possibly another schism in the future? I admire the Anglican bishop for his orthodox stance, but isn’t his appearance necessary to state his opinion along with other bishops who do not like the direction the Anglican church has been taking? I don’t know how they will be able to stay together as one church with such opposing views on homosexuality and female ordination.
