The 2012 synod of the Diocese of Singapore meets later this week on Friday and Saturday 11&12 May. While there’s obviously lots to do, the main item of interest will be the election of a new bishop, replacing John Chew [wiki] who has served in that capacity (and, more recently, as Primate of SE Asia). It’s a key […]
Audio from a talk given by Peter Jensen from the GAFCON Westminster meeting. Well worth listening to as a clear explanation of where conservatives in the Anglican Communion understand the main faultline to be – not sexuality but something far more important, the gospel itself.

The “protocol” is written in a form that the ordinary reader will find hard […]
The liberal attempt in the Anglican Church of Australia to push forward in the promotion of the homosexual agenda has come off the tracks. Here, from a number of sources, is the Australian Bishops protocol on Human Sexuality. I understand this was agreed at the recent House of Bishops meeting in response to the controversy […]
A great post by Matt over at Stand Firm, well worth reading in its entirety. Theological liberalism is parasitic. It survives and thrives by attaching itself to a healthy orthodox Christian denomination or communion and subverting its weakest members—namely, those who are insufficiently grounded in scripture, those nursing past hurts and resentments, those who want […]
