 Hundreds more Church of England defections expected



At least 20 clergy and several hundred of their parishioners are already lined up to join the Ordinariate, the new structure set up by the Pope a year ago that allows them to remain some of their Anglican heritage while entering into full communion with the Holy See.

This is hardly a defection. I do not think they "defect" because of godly conviction of biblical truths but rather because of conservative views. They remain within the camp of religious clergy. Is it sad that clerical honors are so important to them that they have no qualms to be ordained by a counterfeit religious system that is opposed to the headship of Christ and that has killed multitudes of true believers. They will lead others to follow their error.
