Oblivion
In my journey from Lutheranism to Catholicism, I spent several years in the way station of Anglicanism. I learned much of value from that tradition. I remember reading somehere that Anglicanism was the one church whose aim was its own eventual disappearance, implying that its role was to be as via media between Catholicism and Protestantism and serve to unite the divided Body of Christ and, once that goal was acheived, vanish.
Well, it seems the Anglican Church, in Canada at least, is disappearing, but not in the way described above (see The Anglicans' fast track to oblivion).

Redeemed by Our Savior, I work out my salvation with fear and trembling in Pohang, South Korea, where I live with my wife, daughter, and son and teach English at a science and technology university. Baptized a Methodist and raised a Missouri Synod Lutheran in Buffalo, NY, I spent six years as a guest of the Anglican Communion before being received by the Grace of God into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on the Feast of Saint Andrew, my patron, anno domini 2002.
