More on Archbishops and resurrections Gordon Cheng

Gordon Cheng

Recently, Sandy Grant wrote to Anglican Archbishop Roger Herft of Perth, trying to discover what view the Archbishop took in response to one of his senior clergymen apparently denying the bodily resurrection of Christ. The response at the time was ambiguous. (Sandy commented on the topic here and here.)

David Ould has been pursuing a similar line of enquiry to Sandy's and has received a number of further, worrying responses from Archbishop Herft.

As the Global Anglican Future Conference (GAFCON) in Jerusalem approaches, this is a timely reminder of the crisis over biblical orthodoxy within the Anglican denomination today. Whether those reading this are Anglicans (Episcopalians) or not, your prayers about these matters would be greatly appreciated. Our own Tony Payne will be attending GAFCON, together with many other biblically orthodox Anglicans from around the world.

I am surprised somewhat to read Roger say he was “a reformed Catholic”.  He indicated to me that he grew up in William Carey’s school in Serampore India, a Baptist school.
