The Church of England newspaper, which has reported on the church from an evangelical perspective since the 1950’s, says there will be no further published editions of the CEN until further notice, while the organisation secures its financial future.
In a statement issued yesterday, its editor Andrew Carey, said “the Church of England Newspaper has had to review its operations following the passing of Keith Young, owner and director of Political and Religious Intelligence Ltd. Keith was generously the sole provider of additional finance to continue supporting the paper and we are now exploring all options to secure a future and hope that you will bear with us as we seek an orderly transition to serve our readers and subscribers, our advertisers and all other partners”.
Mr Carey says that the CEN has “made a considerable contribution to building up the evangelical institutions of the C of E and supporting an open evangelicalism which up until today, I hope, remains thoughtful, orthodox, resourceful and generous. This is needed more than ever today”.
