| Summary: | The number of schisms within Anglo-American Anglicanism has increased remarkably over the last 20 years, especially in relation to the ordination of women to the priesthood. This paper investigates the phenomenon and is in two main parts. First, it examines and records the recent splits', and offers some account for their occurrence. This includes some of the first work that has been done on the contemporary divisions in the Church of England following the decision to ordain women in 1992. Secondly, the form of the new churches is assessed, using ecclesiological and sociological insights. This includes an interrogation of the Anglican Quadrilateral against the background of accelerating theological and ecclesiological division within post-modernity. The conclusion suggests prospects for Anglican schisms in the next century. |
