Will the Primates finally act in February? What can the Network do for us? Will there be a proto province? After February I believe all bets are off. I am going to lose 40 to 60 percent of my congregation. Do I go with them? Do I stay with the remainder? What can the Network really do to save me and my people? I don\u2019t trust my bishop.
