Anglican Mainstream has responded to the recent communiqué released by Global South Primates which called for a two-church split in the Episcopal Church in the U.S. as a solution to divisions over homosexuality.
Canon Dr Chris Sugden, Executive Secretary of Anglican Mainstream, told Christian Today that the communiqué was an "epoch-making statement" and said it represented the "new reality of the Communion".
The communiqué, released at the Global South Primates meeting in Kigali, Rwanda, last month, criticised the 75th General Convention's response to the Windsor Report,, declaring, "Some of us will not be able to recognise" Katharine Jefferts Schori "as a Primate at the table with us" at next February's Anglican Primates' Meeting.
It also stated: "The time has now come to take initial steps towards the formation of what will be recognised as a separate ecclesiastical structure of the Anglican Communion in the USA."
