His take on the situation in the Church of England is, indeed, enlightening - if correct. <br /><br />Naturally, perhaps, he has a low view of the numerical participation of Anglo-Catholic and non-Evangelical theologs in the Church of England, but to write off their significance may be just a little premature.<br /><br />Also, the slant of David Virtue's questions of Dr. Turnbull are a clear indication of the way the interview would progress - not necessarily objective, but certainly detrimental to the future health of the C.of E., and maybe the Anglican Communion.<br /><br />Interestingly, Turnbull has a great regard for the capabilities of the former ABC, George Carey and the one-time Bishop of Rochester, Nazir Ali - both retired but certainly active on the pro-GAFCON, pro-ACNA scene around the world. Though what good that is doing for the cause of Unity within the Communion at this time is deeply questionable.Father Ron Smithhttp://kiwianglo.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915617830446943975.post-57647348555601805172011-11-17T13:14:23.184+13:002011-11-17T13:14:23.184+13:00Saul Alinsky rules NZ politics which is why we foc...Saul Alinsky rules NZ politics which is why we focus on things that matter.<br /><br />Just as well Anglicanism has been tamed by secularism and publicly conforms to the liberal agenda else Anglicans might find themselves described as <i>"Chinless scarf wearers"</i> or even <i>a secretive sect</i> in public discourse as a more conservative Christian group did not so long ago when they strayed into the arena of electioneeringAndy Snoreply@blogger.com
