No. I marked Dame Mullaly as the insider choice since she was elevated to the bishopric of London.
Yes, but not completely.
Sorry, I am confused as to what an Anglican sedevacantist is,? I tried an internet search, but my computer thinks it is a Catholic thing too.
A Catholic sedevacantist argues that St. Peter's chair has been vacant since _____ insert Pope of your choice, usually due to some progressive tendencies of the successor. Extending the principle to Anglicanism, there are folks arguing that the See of Canterbury is vacant and the selection of Dame Mullaly is null and void. A few of these cranks are doing revisionist history and arguing there hasn't been a 'real' Archbishop of Canterbury since Michael Ramsey or maybe Geoffrey Fisher.Sorry, I am confused as to what an Anglican sedevacantist is,?

Thank you. Out of interest, do these folks have a church authority over them? Are they in ACNA or somewhere? Or are they just standing on a chair in the park shouting about it?
Some ACNA priests and bishops; some Continuing Anglican bishops. Most of the ACNA folks who are worked up over this are also putting forward the idea that GAFCON is now the 'real' Anglican Communion. I understand that there are rules to these matters and the wishes of a few overly political Americans do not determine how the world works.
Thinking about this point, for any Anglicans of any kind who believe unity matters most, presuming they live some place where such freedom exists, they could surely just leave us for either Rome or the East? Of course, there is not much chance of those two resolving their differences anytime soon.
Well there goes the church state link. The Anglican church may well have reached an impasse with those Anglicans who hold a high view of scripture and are connected to the global-historic ecumenical consensus of what constitutes a church. Sarah Mullally is a feminist, liberal intellectual lightweight. She favors abortion, same-sex marriage and most conservative elements of the church are grieved by this choice. Given that British governance has degenerated to the extent that it considered this a viable choice, that it would appoint a woke woman whose spirituality is questionable, given her conclusions, to this revered office, it is time end the link between church and state. Keep freedom of religion to allow true Christian worship elsewhere, but Anglicanism has now had its day.This is going to be interesting - 'Hatred and racism cannot tear us apart,' first woman Archbishop of Canterbury says .

I thought I would not live to see this.
