[Stuart D Gathman]

This guy wrote a little whitepaper on merging online and in-person
communities - and evolving that to eventual nation status.

I first heard this idea from Martyn Minns, then Rector of Truro Church in 
Fairfax, VA.  As the Episcopal (American Anglican) Church became formally 
apostate (voting to renounce 6 of the 39 articles of Anglicanism), he
talked about how Truro was more in alignment with Anglican churches in
Africa than in America.  He is now the Bishop of CANA (Convocation of
Anglican Nigerians in America), and Truro is under the Nigerian
Anglican.
