No more long grass for the Church of England. Repent or Differentiate - Vaughan Roberts

One of the most respected voices in the Evangelical World, the senior minister of St Ebbes in Oxford, Vaughan Roberts, is calling on his own bishop and many of the leaders of the Church of England to repent and return to the Apostolic Christian Faith or failing that pursue a provincial level split. 

He says Church of England Bishops, who spent last week in meetings, have run out of long grass to hide in and says the Church of England is sleep walking towards the same disaster that has happend to the Episcopal Church in America, loosing 100,000 members and seeing hundreds of clergy leaving or deposed.

Bishop of Oxford Steven Croft has recently written that the Church of England should bless same sex partnerships. 

Vaughan Roberts, who leads the largest church in Oxford Diocese, has published this book in response, explaining why Bishop Croft is wrong. (https://bit.ly/vaughanresponse)

He says there will need to be a ‘Provincial Level Distinction’ between those who want to be faithful to the bible’s teaching, saying, “my strong preference would be for the creation of a new distinct province for those who wish for a change in the Church’s teaching and practice.” 

Vaughan Roberts is in Australia, on sabbatical, speaking at the Australian Fellowship of Evangelical Students National Conference in December, and the Church Missionary Society NSW conference in early January. 

He speaks here about Christ, Sabbath, caring for Christians experincing same sex attraction and the difficult future for the Church of England.
