GC ’06 Fallout: Diocese of Pittsburgh Requests "Immediate Alternative Primatial Oversight" and Calls for Orthodox Tenth Province Within TEC

Just when I thought it was going to be a slow day, just when I wasn’t looking, this big news comes out.

I can see both pluses and minuses to this strategy. But I’ll at least have a good think and a good sleep before commenting further.
