Watching the crisis in the Episcopal Church in the USA, I've noticed a hardening in the attitude of people involved. One blog, in particular, which I once saw as quite moderate is now clearly on the "Anglican" (as the conservatives seem to call themselves) side of the debate.

I guess this is inevitable when people disagree on important stuff. Small slights cause greater offense. We can be grateful that there is no sign of this situation arising in New Zealand in the short term.
