Major Parish Churches etc

I'm not an expert on the CofE. Looking at Doncaster Minster I started to wonder about the Major Churches Network: the minster is listed in the {{Major Churches Network}} template but there seems no reliable source which confirms the membership of that network. See Talk:Major Churches Network for discussion: please contribute there.

But I then found a listing of the churches designated "Major Parish Church", all 312 of them, in the Church Heritage Record, along with some other interesting "types" such as Festival Church. I've added a section to this article, expanding "Online Directory" to "Online Directories". It may be that there is some more appropriate place for this information: if so, of course please move the content (using {{copied}} to retain attribution), with appropriate navigation to make it easy to find.

Schism of Global South Fellowship

I feel it is too soon to report a schism of the Global South and to give it prominence in the lede. Disregarding the writers of headlines in the sources, we have only a dissenting statement by a number of prelates. The ABC source says "The move brings a schism in the communion closer" and that nothing has formally changed. -- Wire723 (talk) 18:36, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

Looking at the specific language of the GSFA’s statement (https://www.thegsfa.org/_files/ugd/6e992c_04583b0134b94b9b8e4f81b36fa2420f.docx?dn=Statement%20of%20GSFA%20Primates%20on%20the%20CofE%27s%20Decision%20regarding%20Blessing%20of%20Same%20Sex%20Unions_20), it seems quite clear that they are declaring themselves to be separate from the Church of England and the Archbishop of Canterbury. The CoE’s response is that nothing can change without the meeting of their organizing committees, but a communion is only as strong as the recognition of it from both sides, and the GSFA’s statement is the head of 10 of the 42 constitute churches rejecting the communion.
