Venables in Lambeth

Many years ago, I've seen and heard ++ Gregory Venables preaching a couple of times when he was the Bolivian Anglican Bishop. If there is something I remember from his preachings, it is that he would never doubt to use any circumstance or situation to preach the Gospel, to announce Jesus. Actually, I admired the fact that an older man would be so outspoken for Jesus.

Anyway, many years later, this man is one of the central figures of the Anglican Communion. He participated in the GAFCON conference, provided pastoral oversight to those bible believing Anglicans in the US and Canada (a remnant?), and stood firm for the orthodox faith.

Church Times has published some recent comments by Bishop Venables. The full article can be read here. Apparently, there is a kind of 'denial' mood in Lambeth, and the core issues are not being properly addressed.

Unless we talk about the real reasons why we are divided there’s little hope of putting it back together again

Let's wait and see!
