What next for the Anglican Communion & Church of England - with Dr Peter Jensen

The Church of England has betrayed the Anglican Communion says Former Archbishop Peter Jensen. 

In a challenging, not to be missed conversation, Dr. Jensen, the former General Secretary of the Gafcon movement and former Archbishop of Sydney, speaks candidly about his own shock and grief at last week’s General Synod decision, which he says is a crossing of the rubicon and will have far bigger consequences than those who brought it could have imagined. 

The Church of England official media release says “The General Synod has welcomed proposals which would enable same-sex couples to come to church after a civil marriage or civil partnership to give thanks, dedicate their relationship to God and receive God’s blessing.”

Dr Jensen says he has a particular heart for the deeply Christian faithful individuals experiencing same sex attraction and other chaste single Christians, who have been let down so badly by the English synod.

Dr Jensen shares a pastoral encouragement to faithful believers within the English Church as they work our their response, and notes the GAFCON movement, is ready to provide pastoral support and encouragement, through the AMIE network (https://www.anglicanmissioninengland.org).
