Well here we are; I am 70 years old!!! HAVE to retire from the CofE given no choice even though bishop could extend; he chose not to!!!
but this is the end of one season and the beginning of another! When you are called by God to ministry, a stroke from a bureaucrat's pen does not end that calling! In fact it motivates you to do what God has in line for you next!
I have been an Anglican all of my life and will remain so as a member of Gafcon not of the CofE which has become 'apostate' and 'woke'. Turning its back on historical Christianity which has stood the test of 2,000 years. Those who lead will be doubly judged, so I have told the CofE that I am LEAVING and will NOT take up any retire Permission Licences or House for Duty posts! This is it!
Scripture talks about eventually being called out of the 'Harlot@ a bit harsh but... now is the time for me and I pray for the faithful within as they will need it!!!
