Today's Daily Telegraph has a report that as early as next Monday (20th February) the Global South Fellowship of Anglican Churches will formally disassociate from the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Church of England. The two latter, according to GSFA spokespersons, have shown "deviant, revisionist action" , "heresy", "wilful disobedience to God's word" and brought Jesus into "disrepute". Phew.
It is all part of the ongoing battle in a number of denominations between on the one hand conservative/ evangelical/ literalist/ fundamentalist theology and on the other liberal/ progressive/ inclusive and transformative theology. One embracing narrow exclusive legalism, the other inclusive love. Never the twain shall meet?
