Anglican Voices from England

May 23, 2017 by

 Two different views from orthodox Anglicans on the future of the Church of England.

Interview with Lee Gatiss on Anglican TV:

“by no means is it inevitable that we will capitulate to a liberal trajectory”.

“how hard would it be to appoint suffragan Bishops…if there was the will to help us flourish? But there doesn’t seem to be that will at the moment.”

“there is something in the residual culture that means we have vast opportunities and platforms for the Gospel here in England”.


Interview with Gavin Ashenden on Anglican Unscripted

“The situation in the Church of England…none of this has ever happened before.”

“It would take two or three generations to pull the C of E round from its present trajectory”

“There are some called to stay and some called to leave, but many in the middle who feel bereft in a sea of secularism which assaults their spiritual sensibilities”.

“If you are Episcopalian you look to your Bishop as emblematic of your faith, so some are looking for an alternative Episcopal structure…”
