Anglican Down Under: St. Matt's, the Wider Church and Scripture
Anglican Down Under: St. Matt's, the Wider Church and Scripture: "if we Anglicans play out our future wrongly we will slowly but surely be ground into statistical dust. One possible future is being played out before our eyes in the shape of the ever declining, constantly selling off churches NZ Methodist Church. Booming along, thank you very much, are Pentecostal, Protestant, Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches. Not one of which is contemplating moving away from traditional Christian sexual ethics.

Do we want to be a footnote in future church histories written by Baptist or Apostolic scholars?"
