Progressive for ever and ever, A-women

by Dr Campbell Campbell-Jack, The Conservative Woman: YOU may have thought 2020 was a milestone in progressive insanity infiltrating the church. We found the Church of Scotland, in defiance of science, asserting that some ‘women have a penis’. Not to be outdone, the Church of England stepped forward when Jay Greene, a member of its General Synod, brazenly mangled Scripture by saying to ‘lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, or transgender’ people ‘as Our Lord said to Lazarus, Come out.’ If you thought this...

Where might the Church of England’s Living in Love and Faith lead?

from Christian Today: Last November, the Church of England published Living in Love and Faith (LLF), a set of resources about relationships, marriage, sexuality and identity. While the LLF resources are the latest attempt by the Church of England to put an end to years of infighting over sexuality, they quickly exposed the scale of the rift, unleashing a war of words on Twitter in the first few weeks after their release. For better or worse, LLF is set to underpin a year of discussions across...

St Helen’s multiply the muddle

by Anthony George, Anglican Ink: In a press release dated 18 December 2020, St Helen’s Bishopsgate announced that they are now in “a state of broken partnership” with their bishop and diocese. It’s easy to sympathise with the predicament in which St Helen’s, like other orthodox Church of England parishes, find themselves. But it’s hard to view their action as coherent. And harder still to think of it as a wise model for others to emulate. In assessing the decision, it’s important to recognise...

Progressive ‘Catholic’ Media Goes Belly-Up

Sexuality, safeguarding and the language of God

by David Baker, Christian Today: When do discussions about sexuality and gender veer into territory which is unacceptable? It’s a live issue at the moment for many in the Church of England following the publication of the ‘Living in Love and Faith’ (LLF) resources which aim to stimulate discussion about such matters. For example, according to Rosie Harper, who is chaplain to the Bishop of Buckingham, ‘traditional teaching specially on homosexuality is a safeguarding...
