As far as I'm concerned, I have no ties anymore to the clergy there, and could leave as far as that goes. But Pat and I have friends there in the congregation... that, plus not knowing how we'd be received elsewhere, has kept us at our current parish.
It's ironic that the same African churches that are possibly building alliances with the conservative anti-gay-clergy dioceses here in the US, are themselves lobbying to keep their converted poly familes intact (which would probably horrify those same conservative US dioceses).
