Major UK Anglican Bishop To Swim the Tiber?

Maybe and perhaps with others to follow. What Does The Prayer Really Say? has the article from the London Telegraph at Anglican Bishop(s) - swimming?

This article is interesting because because the the always increasing rumors of Rome in talks with the Representatives of the Traditional Anglicans again rears it head

...... .Pope Benedict XVI is more open to experiment than Pope John Paul II. He is taking a close interest in the progress of the rebel Traditional Anglican Communion towards reunion - a process which is under the control of the Congregration for the Doctrine of the Faith, not the Vatican's woolly-minded ecumenists.I can't betray confidences, but my advice is: look at the new church structures, such as Old Rite parishes, that the Pope is already encouraging, and ask yourself how those models might be adapted for the use of former Anglicans.
But I've already said too much....
.



Could it happen? Well I think it might. Lambath, which is where all the Anglican Bishops meet, seems to be designed next session to solve no prob ems. That the concerns of more Traditional and Orthodox Anglicans will not be met with any action. Perhaps the Archbishop of Canterbury will realize that to hold such an attitude might be the final straw that broke the camels back. However even he does that does not mean others in the Communion will be so far sighted.

Update-
What is exactly an "Traditional" or ORthodox Anglican when we use that term Well it depends as Father (a former Anglican Priest) Standing on My head points out here at Orthodox Anglicanism . Also check out his post Anglicans in Agony
