Anglican Resistance Fires Shots Ahead of Synod
by Joshua D Jones, Sanity’s Cove:
Next week is the Church of England’s (CoE) official Synod. Religious men, women, and non-binary will descend on London in their ecclesiastical garb in what is sure to be the oddest-looking gathering since last summer’s cosplay convention. Unlike the cosplay convention, this clerical congress likes to take itself and its discussions very seriously and we should do them the favour of playing along.
In anticipation of this sober summit, a group of evangelical Anglican church leaders (CEEC) has just released a declaration formally referred to as ‘Apostolic Life and Faith’. It’s actually about sex. In releasing it they (presumably) hope to direct some of the synod’s discussion in a sane direction – something we cannot take for granted at Synod.
To understand why some people will find this interesting (other than the fact it’s about sex), we need a bit of context.
