...Anglican parties have talked fairly little, thus far, about the collateral damage if the Communion does dissolve - but it would be real. Valuable links between rich and poor nations would be broken, and people would suffer while northern cash is seeking new conduits to southern need. There will be expensive litigation. That is not to say that the principles of gay rights or biblical fidelity may not be worth the possible costs. But Williams cautions: "There are no clean breaks.

The Soviets would get the northern half of Korea (formerly occupied by Imperial Japan) and the U.S. the south. In 1953, after three years of bloody war, North Korea (and its principal ally, China) and the U.S., South Korea and others in a United Nations coalition agreed to a cease-fire.
