Anglicanism is reborn outside the quasi-Marxist CofE
By Rob Slane, The Conservative Woman:
Life is funny. I am not really an Anglican. If I had to describe myself as anything, non-conformist would be about the most apt. Yet just over a year ago, I helped to set up a new church — Christ Church — in my home city of Salisbury, which has an Anglican minister and which is affiliated to an Anglican organisation.
Those who are clued up on church polity in England will find something extremely odd in that statement. Not the bit about my non-conformism, but the fact that the church I have helped to establish is affiliated to an Anglican organisation. Surely, you might think, the only organisation in England that sets up Anglican churches, or indeed can set up Anglican churches, is the Church of England. Until recently, that was broadly true. I suppose that if someone had really wanted to establish an “Anglican” church outside the auspices of the Church of England, they could have done it at any time over the past few hundred years. Yet nobody did it, because there was no reason to do so. Until now, that is.
My church is one of the first to be set up as an Anglican church in England, yet outside the auspices of the Church of England, and in fact under the affiliation of an organisation named Anglican Mission in England. Is this in any way important? Actually yes, it is incredibly important, not to mention historically significant.
Until recently, the Church of England has been Anglicanism in England, but as anyone who has watched that institution of late will know, it has slipped further and further away from its moorings, and has now largely become a quasi-Marxist institution which has completely kowtowed to the feminist, egalitarian, and sexual revolutions of secular society.
