Dear Sir, Peter Sanlon (September en) is rightly noting the seriously compromised state of the CofE now, and the even more confusing and concerning reticence of its conservative leaders to acknowledge the fact. Many of us wonder what has happened here, and why the paucity of response to the LGBT blitzkrieg within church and culture.
Here two thoughts to add to what Peter has said. Firstly, Liberal is not progressive. Liberals are wrong on these matters (as I see it) but at least the truly liberal believe in liberalism, i.e. large tent, agreeing to disagree, and so forth.
Progressives, on the other hand, need to theologically cleanse the culture and church of so-called ‘homo- and trans-haters’ like us. Just look at how TEC has been taken over, silencing and punishing public dissent while the still-orthodox treat it as a second order issue and look the other way. It is increasingly happening here too.
