Can we still avoid Anglicanism falling apart?

At the end of last year, the Prayers of Love and Faith entered Church of England ‘currency’. In short, a library of prayers has been commended by the House of Bishops that will enable clergy to conduct prayers of blessing for couples in a parish church who are in a sexually active relationship outside of heterosexual marriage.

There is an imminent prospect of so-called ‘standalone’ services seemingly being brought in on an experimental basis, and some of the bishops have also indicated their desire to make it possible for clergy to marry same-sex partners.

For evangelicals holding onto the inherited and Biblical position of the Church of England, all of this leads to a simple but crucial question: What now – and can I remain in the Church of England?
