Father Richard Tillbrook of St Barnabus Church in Colchester said he had thought long and hard about the offer.

“I pray the new synod may well understand more fully the need to have provision within the Church of England for our sacramental surety and what it’s all about.”

    Now that he has deciced to stay, I hope that Tillbrook+ will add his voice to those within CofE attempting to stop the encroachment of liberalism.
