Church of England Evangelical Council Elections
1 [9835] Posted by: Horace W Friday 23 January 2009 - 06:08pm

Let's hope that one of the new chairman's first actions is to get rid of this appalling photoset as soon as possible. It just confirms that we are talking about the Council of Elderly Evangelical Clergy. Where are the women? Where are the laity? Where are the young people? It reminds us of Hensley Henson's famous dismissal of evangelicals back in the 1930s as a bunch of illiterates generalled by octogenarians.

And why are there two photos of All Souls Langham Place there? What about HTB? or the many other evangelical centres of excellence?


Wycliffe Hall
2 [9818] Posted by: Horace W Friday 23 January 2009 - 10:11am

What is going on at Wycliffe Hall? There is a report in today's Church Times which reports on an interview with the new chair of CEEC, Archdeacon Michael Lawson. According to the Archdeacon, Dr Turnbull did not resign as chair of CEEC because of the way he handled the lamentable CEEC5 day, but "resigned under pressure from his college, Wycliffe Hall". He further reports that Dr Turnbull resgined "because of serious issues that needed to be addressed at Wycliffe Hall". In addition, he reports that Dr Turnbull is currently on a three month sabbatical.

So what is going on here?
