An assessment by the Rev. Matt Mirable of the Anglican Church in America.  Protestantism is a dead end:

"Ever since my early days at St. Paul's Episcopal Church I have heard something like this; '... plan to support Anglicans who leave the Anglican Church of... over doctrinal revision which overturns the plain teaching of Scripture.' This phrase was in a communication from GAFCON today. This phrase, 'plain teaching of scripture' has always been problematic. All the sincere evangelical and charismatic Anglicans who hoped, by their prayers, charismatic energy, and evangelical commitment to the 'plain meaning of scripture' to turn the church back from progressive revisionism and never stopped to ask why it could not stem the tide. It is because they failed to ask this one question - the plain meaning of scripture according to whom? Which community can speak authoritatively about the plain meaning of scripture? Certainly not those who hold a protestant formula that puts the individual as the locus of authority. Or the local-in-time-and-space church. When we say the 'plain meaning of scripture' we mean the received plain meaning as understood by the majority of confessing Christians and doctors of the church from antiquity. We can no longer afford this phrase, standing alone, disconnected frorm the church that preceded it. Too many Anglicans fail to understand how postmodernism has undermined authoritative truth claims and how, failing to place their interpretation of scripture within the consensus of that which has been believed always, everywhere and by all lose any authoritative claim. In a postmodern world, in answer to the postmodern context, the only cogent answer is the 'meanings of scripture in concert with the greatest consensus of the church across time'. This must be the new standard of authoritative discourse around the meaning of scripture and the teaching of the church. We are well beyond the Reformation. Whatever formulary you wish to retain from that Anglican movement is addressing an entirely different set of concerns. It is time to answer present heresies with the appropriate development of doctrine. This, I propose, is the place to start."
