Much of the Anglican Communion in the west is apostate. This is a badge of honor for Dr. Packer. Much of the Anglican Communion in the west is apostate.

The Anglican communion has pledged it's devotion to the modern era and in so doing has (as Guinness put it), "[Cut] itself off from the universal faith that spans the centuries and the continents, it becomes culturally captive to one culture and one time". For further reading, I strongly recommend OS Guinness's article on why he left the Episcopal church: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/01/07/AR2007010700982.html As OS Guinness has said(though this may not have originated with him), “He who marries the spirit of the age, shall soon become a widower”.

I asked him several months about the split within the Anglican church, and he said that from his point of view the media makes it about homosexuality, but the reality is as you said, the stem of Liberalism, and the acceptance of homosexuality is just one of the many issues coming from that problem. Not a Anglican myself, I cannot properly reply, but however I can see what he means, and what Packer is saying here as well.
