Nigerian Anglican Schism
Big news in this press release: CHURCH OF NIGERIA REDEFINES ANGLICAN COMMUNION

On the one hand "[a]ll former references to 'communion with the see of Canterbury' were deleted and replaced with another provision of communion with all Anglican Churches, Dioceses and Provinces that hold and maintain the 'Historic Faith, Doctrine, Sacrament and Discipline of the one Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church'."

On the other hand "[e]mphasis was also placed on the 1662 version of the Book of Common Prayer and the historic Thirty-Nine Articles of Religion," the latter being of questionable Catholic content.
