Mrs brought home a copy of the church of england newspaper.
I used to read our a lot, but stored because it always left me feeling anxious.
But I suppose that if we are both to be ordained we need to be up on our church politics.
This edition had a big article on GAFCON. Now as an evangelical I should gel really comfortable with them. But I find them deeply disturbing. Granted, I don't want the church to be run by extreme liberals who see no conflict in claiming to be both muslim and christian. But gafcon s attempt to proclaim unity while establishing a schematic faction seems to be self defeating. I don't support them in their opposition to gay marriage. And generally I just don't like them.
So where will I sit in future if the church divides along these lines? They are my more natural bed fellows, but I couldn't really start with them. On the other hand Iwouldn't feel happy on the other side.
I'll just have to set up my own church !
