Can Anglicans Play Hardball?

I'll believe it when I see it, but there is talk of pro-gay Anglican bishops being shut out of international conferences by the rest of the church. Those eligible for the shunning would include American Epsicopal primate Frank Griswold, and Canadian bishop Michael Ingham. This step is being touted as one that would avoid schism while still exercising some sort of disciplinary sanction on the renegade North American clerics. Dexter is skeptical. Pigs will be seen overhead in vee-formation before the notoriously loose Anglican communion gets its act together and takes a firm stand on a religious principle.
