Why are sound British evangelicals like David Robertson and David Baker continuing to write for Christian Today and Church Society director Lee Gatiss and Reform trustee David Banting for The Church of England Newspaper?

Christian Today would now appear to be a propaganda organ for the revisionist agenda in the Church of England, judging by its news coverage of the current Independent Inquiry into Child Sex Abuse.

‘Did the Church of England’s divisions over homosexuality contribute to child sex abuse cover-up?’ proclaimed the headline to one of its purported news reports last week. If the editor of Christian Today thought that putting a question mark at the end of the headline would mask the story’s revisionist bias, then with respect to the editor, that was a misapprehension.

This report contained no comment from an orthodox Anglican making the point that if the received biblical teaching of the Church of England had not been flagrantly disobeyed by some clergy, then the appalling sexual abuse described during the inquiry would never have occurred.

As for The Church of England Newspaper, its highly personable editor is a campaigner for the blessing of sexual relationships that historic Anglican teaching holds to be sinful and Christ-dishonouring. Colin Blakely is a trustee of the Ozanne Foundation, whose director Jayne Ozanne describes herself as ‘a well-known gay evangelical who works to ensure full inclusion of all LGBTI Christians at every level of the Church’.
