One of Canada's best known Anglican theologians, J.I.Packer, has moved on:
"...On April 23, Dr. Packer handed in his clergy licence to Canadian Canadian Bishop Michael Ingham , the bishop of New Westminster, who had already declared him and ten other clergy to be guilty of "abandoning" their ministry. Dr. Packer told a meeting of the Anglican Network this week that he could no longer serve in ministry under Bishop Ingham.
He told a conference of 400 orthodox Anglicans this week, "It seems to me that in a situation where arguably, elected bishops become heretical, what is the divine answer to that, there must be possibility for realignment for the faithful where heresy, doctrinal and moral is approved."
It takes a lot of courage to persevere the way the Anglican Essentials group has . They have a lot to lose as individuals and as believers in a faithful Anglican Communion.
They also have a lot to gain.
