Compelled to resist: ‘Of course we’re leaving,’   shell-shocked bishops told, as protest grows

Richard Moy

The Church of England Evangelical Council (CEEC) is spearheading a petition called ‘Keeping faith – why we are compelled to resist’ which says current proposals from bishops ‘deny the authority of Scripture’ – whatever their protestations to the contrary.

London evangelicals as well as Anglo-Catholics turned out in force to air their deep unease to a ‘shell-shocked’ diocesan episcopal leadership.
