You should see what happens over here in New Zealand. This is nothing new at all. Anglican church is a real pot-pourri- you will get some churches within that denom not approving of a woman bishop being ordained.. and others who love liberal theology.
I think both the Anglican and Methodist church denominations have split over this issue among others.
There are Anglican churches that have reformed themselves again.. not just called reformed from being part of the protestant reformation, but actually gone back to the bible and changed their doctrine. Most of these are not liberal in theology at all, and probably wouldn't approve of what is going on at the top of their denomination.
Anyhoo.. the Anglican denom is the largest in New Zealand.
