The interesting thing is that a quick look at the register of transfers to other Provinces of the Anglican Communion shows names such as Atwood, Minns, and Roseberry --- that is, they made legitimate transfers to other Provinces, whatever the current status of the ecclesiastical roofs over some of their heads.
