I love the way that Doug Wilson writes. I might not always agree with what he writes but he has a beautiful way of putting things that only enhances what he’s saying. So, in a series of recent posts on the Women Bishops nonsense in the Church of England, and particularly N.T.Wright’s contributions, he has […]
This piece stand alone, with no need for commentary. Remember, this is a man who was appointed by the institution to a senior position at one of the most important cathedrals in the Church of England. There was this lad at school who got bullied all the time. When he wasn’t being bullied he was […]
So by now we all know (or where have you been?) that the Church of England decided against Women Bishops by the narrowest of margins. The vote, of course, wasn’t about the principle of having Women Bishops (conservatives having conceded the inevitability of that a long time ago) but over whether proper provision could be […]

I believe that his appointment should give hope to all of us who long to see renewal, reform and genuine unity. Bishop Justin will bring to the Anglican Communion a special combination of gifts and experience. […]
This just released jointly by Forward in Faith and Reform. What will be telling now is whether proponents of Women Bishops take it seriously. All the signs are, so far, that many of them simply don’t want to know. Truly sad.
We’re not quite there, but it seems that the cat is now out of the bag. Sources have confirmed that the Eton-educated bishop will be announced as successor to Dr Rowan Williams as early as Friday, after the Crown Nominations Commission put his name forward to Downing Street. It marks a meteoric rise for the […]
