Free Church of England row over Bishop

The Free Church of England (FCE) – a
‘Reformed and Protestant’ body set up by
disillusioned Anglicans
in
the mid-19th
century – is facing turmoil amid calls for its
Primus, John Fenwick, to quit.
A letter calling for him to step down has
been signed by half of the UK’s active FCE
clergy, including former Church of England
ministers Peter Sanlon and Steven Hanna. It
says decisions made by Bishop Fenwick are
‘endangering the peace and future flourishing’
of the denomination.
