- Notes
- "As one who has departed the Anglican Church of Canada, and experienced the heady freedom of ministry under faithful, biblical leadership .. and a Global Anglican Future Conference (GAFCON) participant, I have watched the goings on at Lambeth with increasing incredulity. I am amazed at the desperation of the Archbishop of Canterbury and the minority liberal Anglicans who are attempting to keep the sinking ship afloat, despite being told be their orthodox brothers and sisters that there can be no reconciliation without repentance and a return to the received faith of the church. Entirely too much energy is being wasted trying to hold a dying communion together. Let us just go our separate ways and God will eventually tell us who was right and who was wrong. We are done. There is a new reality unfolding that will see approximately 15 million liberal Anglicans running their own separate show and 40 plus million orthodox Anglicans in a separate confessional fellowship. We haven't been walking in biblical unity (in spirit and truth) for years. Desperate measures won't make it happen. Only prayerful confession and repentance can do that, and the liberals just aren't interested as can be attested to by Mr. Ingham's comments. We need to get over it and get on with what God is calling each of us to do". [Text of entire article.]
