However, reaction was continuing to grow against the Singapore consecrations and the recruiting of U.S. parishes to join a network outside the Episcopal Church. That's not the issue at all. A large portion of the Episcopal Church and the leadership of the Episcopal Church does not see the Bible as the final authority. N.C. Sorting out the issues Parishes have joined and left the Episcopal Church over the years for a variety of reasons. The conflict in essence comes down to geography.
Anglican polity is violated when a bishop enters a diocese without permission.

The counter argument is that Scripture is a higher authority than canon law or agreements among churches. The two conservative organizations most involved in the issue are the American Anglican Council, whose president is Bishop James Stanton of the Diocese of Dallas, and First Promise, led by Bishop Charles Murphy. The AAC seeks a solution to the issues within the Episcopal Church, such as the naming of a bishop for parishes that have theological differences with their bishop. This plan is in effect in the Church of England.
