According to [Richard] Turnbull, the Church of England Evangelical Council will now take its own vote on the resolution. That will not mean a split away from the Church of England, but it does mean the right of orthodox churches to break away from their liberal bishops.
That will result in chaos, conference-goers said: it will enable liberal churches to step out of an evangelical diocese, to realign with the American Church for example ”“ and chaos in England will be complete. “That would be disastrous to the opportunities for the gospel here”, Bishop Keith Sinclair said. He is hoping that CEEC will take a decision that reflects a broader perspective of parties that strive for Anglican unity on the basis of the truth of the gospel.
In the morning, Bishop Michael Nazir-Ali of Rochester had called the Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans “a movement under God”. “God is always providing movements when the Church needs them: the missionary movements of the nineteenth century, the charismatic movement in the last century, and now this movement which is calling the Church to remain faithful to the gospel.”
The biggest problem for the TEC as as it is now constituted seems to be that the Gospel of Jesus Christ has been superceeded by a new humanist one that says the if it feels good do it. In the Church of England, it seems that a lack of leadership is bring it down. Who will step up to reform things this time? Gafcon? I don’t think so unless there is a complete and total repudiation of womens ordination to start with. I don’t think that is going to happen, and if not, what next? More splintering. A strong personality that speaks with an authoritative voice and view will come forward or the Anglican Communion, such as is left of it will be for naught.
