'Anglican experiment is over' for whom?

Don't tell the Global South Anglicans, who are led by crusading Archbishop Peter Akinola of Nigeria. Their answer to the pope's join-us offer was "No thank you." Or the conservative, breakaway Anglican Church of North America. Who are clearly still devoted to the Anglican Communion.

Like non-conservatives who aren't the least tempted by the Vatican's offer, they've made it clear they aren't leading a swim across the Tiber.

Even so. During a meeting of the British traditionalist Anglican group Forward in Faith, the Reverend John Broadhurst asserted that "Anglican experiment is over."

For some in the UK perhaps, but whom else?
