Forward in Faith General Assembly

I particularly recommend listening to Bishop Jonathan Baker, who is the new Chairman of Forward in Faith and successor to Monsignor John Broadhurst. He speaks strongly about the Eucharistic ecclesiology of Anglicanism and those who have crossed the Tiber individually or with the Ordinariate. Those who remain fight to keep the same courageous vision. The machinery of General Synod grinds on, and realism prevails. Bishop Baker had been sceptical about the Society of St Wilfrid and St Hilda, but spoke very positively about it on condition that its bishop members may exercise their authority and give it viability. What about the threat of attrition? The only answer is to offer the best we have to God. He spoke calmly and encouraged us to be positive about those who are staying in the Church of England to fight it out to the bitter end.
