at least here in the US. No one has power over the Episcopal church except us.

If they kicked us out of the Communion, which will not happen, it would not make the slightest bit of real difference. There are other liberal national Anglican churches, too. I think the central African churches are the most conservative, and much of the communion is somewhere in the middle. The US, Canada, New Zealand and Australia are liberal.
