Nearly 45 years ago I was taught in a theological college how to exigent scripture and interpret it. You do it in context of the letter it's written in, the verses around it and the wider context of the Bible. Scripture interprets scripture. If you want to change that, fine, but don't expect God to endorse it.

More treason

R U people kidding? There is no Church of England any longer! And by the way society is not interested in what the Church has to say or offer!

Isn't the Anglican church part of the church of England? Maybe unhitching yourself from that ungodly mess would be a start.

By its own decision, the CofE is no longer a church. May the true Anglican Church move on with the blessing of Christ. The gates of hell cannot stand against it.

What lessons can we learn from the church in Ephesus?

Our relatively small Baptist Church in the Sydney suburbs is growing at a low rate since 2022. The main issue we are facing is quite different from those discussed in the video. We have no issue getting newcomers to drop by, come to things, but rarely do they come back regularly.

Just curious if other denominations are experiencing the same decline. I think there is anecdotal evidence that some of the biblically faithful churches are growing very well. If so then there is a totally different discussion to be had.

the church must go to the people instead of hoping the people will come to it. and try to get a hold on the fact that the gospel does not teach that every unbeliever is going to "hell".

What if God is not honouring what Sydney Anglicans are standing for in terms of their theological approach and not sending newcomers? Gen question

I just wish the Anglican church would talk more about why the news is good in terms of God himself being a good God rather than turning the saving message into a horror story.

Spiritual maturity and depth and maturity in worship needs to be addressed as well. The non church climate is increasingly difficult for Christians to navigate. How do we offer revenant sanctuaries for those we expect to be involved in mission, places where newcomers feel welcomed, but also feel that they are clearly in a space not of this world. We can't address the secularization of society while we don't address the secularization of the church. Just read through the report and I agree with most of the conclusions but feel this was overlooked.

Right on the money!

The Sydney Anglicans repeatedly fail to see the elephant-in-the-declining-attendance-room - the failure of the Diocese to nudge their school students to lifelong church attendance.

1 John 2:19 CSB - 19  They went out from us, but they did not belong to us; for if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us. However, they went out so that it might be made clear that none of them belongs to us.

This decline is across the Western World. Something that Churches probably can not do anything about it.

Then what of the radical "consolidation" of the "daughter" worship - centres" into the main centre in the Armidale Diocese after 1965 & the "election" of +Kerle? Most have gone in 2024. The NCLS surveys have NEVER explored this reality! Further, then what of some rural Parish mergers in the Armidale Diocese since 1965? And then their continued decline after that merger?

God also works through the YT algorithm!

How so sad to see Bishop leader who have so so sadly lost their faith to be bringing in such non biblical teaching it is just incredible. Praise the Lord for Evangelical ministers who are making such a stand. God be with you and may He guide you on how to go forward. Also for your parishioners who know God as their Saviour firmly stand for the Church of England will prevail and these Bishops will come to repentance and see their wicked thinking and deeds.

The views of Archbishop Welby are incompatible with the word of God. He can no longer be a spiritual guide to others. The wolf is among the flock.

Justin Welby must step down from his position.

“ God is destroying the Church of England” - strong words. “Diverse voices within the church, yet they must stick together” - is that a compromise on the One Biblical Truth? I sense a conflict between the English national character : open- mindedness and tolerance of other opinions ( values that are democratic and wholesome in the social environment) which can not co- exist with Biblical instructions telling us to stand apart from the pagan practices ( idolatries) of the world around us. Light cannot mix with darkness. 2 Corinthians 6:14. And sadly many bishops are calling darkness ‘light’ and light as ‘darkness’. Isaiah 5:20. That is our sad reality. We/ I need repentance, fasting and prayer. God save the British Nation, as I can see tribulations ahead as a result of the current apostasy.

This breaks my heart as a Christian and a man of God all my attempt to be a man of God as ammonia human I know the truth Jesus Christ is King we need to go back and read the scriptures carefully this was prophecy in revelations in the end times all religions will turn on themselves even Christianity will turn on itself it's just done that officially and in the open and declared war against God and rejection of God's word well then they reject god Godwin remove their lamp stands from the church and God will depart from them woe to the Church of England you have made a grave mistake

I feel vindicated in watching this! I upset someone in my church by a harsh critique of Alpha in which I concluded it had no place in our evangelistic endeavours. My great objection was the clear endorsement of Roman Catholicism, which is at least unhelpful and truly a defilement of the outreach tool. You have helpfully explained a broader and deeper critique of other issues to reach the same conclusion. Thank you.

He has no right to demand Christians to support Palestine!! He supports terrorists!

Cranmer, Latimer and Ridley were faithful martyrs to the end of their lives

Poor England, may God help us.Glad l left a long time ago.😊

I have left the C of E and now attend a Free Evangelical Church. ✝️

Such a blessing 🙏🕊

I totally agree with you Judy that it's only through the Gospel people would be transformed. This is in line with the Vision of the Diocese of Mara. "Changing lives through the power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to all people....(Lk. 4:18).

Why is the host say the word primates..... the question ending with the priest and his primates... someone please tell me I am wrong ...

WELBY must be SACKED for his support of SODAMY. This is a SIN. He must go.

Has Wellesby ever read Paul's standards for Church leaders as in 1 and 2 Timothy. But like all WOKE SIN FILLED CHURCH LEADERS he has probably tore it out of their Bible.

ROMANS 12:2 BE NOT CONFORMED TO THE STANDARDS OF THE WORLD. Like all WOKE so called church leaders Wellesby is following SATAN not CHRIST

I have left the C of E and now attend a Free Evangelical Church. ✝️

The descent of the Church of England into paganism.

With all due respect please can you show the ‘facts’ you are referring to. You’ll find that it’s not fact it’s a theory. I searched and searched for these facts and they just don’t exist. It’s important to read scripture in context too and not only read the scripture that one is aligned with. God bless these men for truly preaching the gospel.

It is time for the Royalist to be replaced they live with all the best and the people suffer I believe the people of Englandwill turn on them

They can change their ways of how they feel about the word of God but the word of God tells us what happens when you take from or add To His word the Bible God will have His wrath on this and it will come quickly

They need to step down.. they are being deceived and deceiving others!!

Leave the institutional churches.. and get back to true biblical way.. These bishops are hirelings!!!!

Justin welby must not only repent but quit the church.another man who closely knows the lord and knows the bible thoroughly must be appointed in welbys place.

Since I serve in a leader care ministry, these findings and observations are very helpful. Thank you. It created quite a discussion at our table tonight with a group of pastors and their wives. I’m wondering if a summary PDF of the key points could be made available???

COMMUNISM CASTS A DARK SPELL OVER EVERYTHING!

Where the he'll are our so called leaders taking us. At a time when we are being OVERUN by Heathens, Nazis and Izlamists who's only intentions are to over thrown ANY regime that does not agree with a Fake Mohommad. They only intend to take women back into the gutter, to even harvest our children for body parts! I kid you not!!!

Ooh how interesting, I am a Third Culture Kid (from the multinational oil business): English father, Australian mother, grew up in Kuwait, PNG, England (at a boarding school for expats), before coming to Australia aged 13. I lived in 11 different houses up to the age of 14. I have never really had a sense of belonging anywhere. But in a way I feel like I belong everywhere, its a positive thing.

Very useful learnings here. In all my years of Christianity I never viewed/heard any video/podcasts addressing this topic until now.

Excellent discussion.

Form of Godliness denying the power there of, I met so many Anglicans, You need a Holy Spirit Baptism, stick to the bible, so many Anglicans know more of the prayer book than of the Bible.

God continue to bless you my brother. I cry when I think of how leaders in the C of E in England have let Christians down all over the world. My heart cries and I am ashamed. I pray God will intervene and restore the truth in our Land.
