When I read the response of TECs House of Bishops to the Primates, I was struck with an image of a shoal of bishops, swimming six foot under, unwilling to come to the surface for air, and at the same time unwilling to commit to the dive to the murky bottom.
However, dithering in the refracted light six foot under is as much a death sentence as dwelling in the gloom sixty foot under. Either way, death is what comes. So it seems also for those bishops who cannot seem to choose life, not will they commit to choosing death.
If you will not come up for air, it does not matter how far underwater you are.
Deuteronomy 30 v19
This day I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live.
The Age To Come 
Peter Your comment, So it seems also for those bishops who cannot seem to choose life, nor will they commit to choosing death, reminds me of the end time church of Laodicea. “I know thy works…neither hot nor cold; I would that thou were hot or cold…..so.. I will spew thee out of my mouth. (Rev 3: 14-16)

That’s an interesting phrase. “If you will not come up for air, iot does not matter how far underwater you are.” Amen. Amen also to the comment by white rabbit.
Have a blessed evening in Christ.
