Church Society: Post-Truth Post-Lambeth
from Virtueonline:
The Revd Dr Lee Gatiss, Director of Church Society has spoken directly to the issues that have presented themselves, Post-Lambeth 2022. He speaks boldly and without mincing his words.
Only one bishop within the Church of England, The Rt Revd Rod Thomas has openly stood with the statement of the Global South Fellowship of Anglicans.
Gatiss is the Director of the largest conservative grouping within the Church of England. He made his statement in a video but the text follows.
It will be an encouragement to the faithful members of the C of E who have had enough mealy-mouth words.
It is reproduced fully and with permission. A link to the video addresss is provided at the bottom of the text.

Over the summer, I have been finishing off two books for publication. In Living in Mercy and Grace, I am one of a number of contributors looking at “life and ministry in hard times.” My contribution is to look at Titus chapter 3, and what it says about how to handle division in the church as good Christians. In the other book — a new expanded edition of my practical biblical theology of how to handle heresy, called Fight Valiantly: Contending for the Faith against False Teaching in the Church– I have been adding further reflections on church discipline, racism, spiritual abuse, and other matters which have become even more urgent since it was first published.
As I was working on finishing these books off for publication, the news was vying for my attention, because it showed how relevant these subjects are.
I don’t have the authority.
