Archbishop-elect Provence

I've been told that Bishop Provence was elected to be the next Archbishop of the APCK.

An APCK Diocese Afoot?

It's been a very long time since I've published anything here. I'd already planned to write a few things today if I could afford the time, but after reading an email last night I decided to write first and tend the day's chores later. What was in this email that so convicted me?

According to an article by David Virtue, Bishop Florenza of the APCK's Diocese of the Eastern States has declared his Diocese to be in "a state of genuine unity and full communion" with the ACA.

I'd like to know what "a state of genuine unity and full communion" means. How does "genuine unity" differ from organic unity? If it does not (and that would be my understanding of the plain English), "full communion" is implicit. If they are the same, has Bishop Florenza already effectively declared his Diocese's move to the ACA? Can a Diocese exist in two jurisdictions?

I realize these are questions for Bishop Florenza, but I cannot help but think aloud. The sordid history of continuing Anglicanism and its continued disunity are shameful. I hope and pray this latest event is different, but if this is indeed a "unilateral" action as some have suggested, I fear it will only worsen "the brokenness of our witness for Christ as traditional Anglicans" that Bishop Florenza reportedly criticizes.

As I mentioned in a comment on the Continuum, I'm all for decreasing the number of petty kingdoms that exist in continuing Anglicanism. But I don't see how this action will change that number unless it results in the APCK in its entirety moving toward organic unity with the ACA. And, if the APCK were willing to make such a move, would the ACA be the best destination? I think the ACC or the UECNA, both having a much clearer tie to St. Louis and Denver, would be better destinations for such a move.

June 29th was a big day already, but it'll be even more interesting to learn what happens in Oakland now.
