What is the nature of the Anglican communion? Really, is it too closely tied to the idea of the social contract if to be released, one must simply assert his will? Is there nothing ontological in play? Are there no indelible marks upon the soul? Is the split in the Episcopal Church a legimate resolution of the problem, or does it only deepen it? Church-state questions seem to be at the heart of this issue, for geographical ties are being made and broken. It seems that Hooker's criteria of reason, scripture and tradition as a workable system are being questioned and tested.
