Every time I sit down at a computer keyboard to write a 700-word column about the global Anglican wars, my head starts spinning.

Tomorrow is a giant news day in the Anglican wars, which is a global story that also has an American angle, a New York City angle, a Virginia angle and a Washington suburbs angle.

Many truths, many paths, many gods?
For years now, I have been saying that the two most controversial subjects in American religion are sex and salvation.
