To have come under African alternative Episcopal oversight would have put me under even greater pressure, and my parish would not have taken it lightly.
When I left, a churchplant asked if I would continue to minister to them and I agreed. They had left the Anglican Church as they felt unsupported. So I do secular work and minister part time. It is a delight and I feel like a weight has been lifted from my back.
So I really don't feel like bashing Anglicanism - but it's inability to hold the faith sure and steady is a cause for sorrow. Liberalism rots the soul.
BTW Rowan Williams was my Bishop. Liberal as they come - but also a very kind gentleman.
Thank you!
I’m sure Atkins is a perfect gentlemen and a kind man vimto, and that is the rub, it’s not that those folks are monsters, they just aren’t Christians and holding offices in a Church while not practicing our Faith is a non sequitor.
BTW, what a great story about your working and still ministering, that is how Christianity changes people’s lives.
