Dear Sir,
Churches are apparently receiving invitations to register with and join ‘Inclusive Church’. The invitation opens with a list of nebulous ‘advantages’ that may allegedly be derived from joining, and then offers the following statement of faith:
‘Inclusive Church is a group of Christians uniting together around our statement of belief: “We believe in inclusive Church – church which does not discriminate, on any level, on grounds of economic power, gender, mental health, physical ability, race or sexuality. We believe in Church which welcomes and serves all people in the name of Jesus Christ; which is scripturally faithful; which seeks to proclaim the gospel afresh for each generation; and which, in the power of the Holy Spirit, allows all people to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Jesus Christ.” ’
