All Are Not Welcome: The Downfall of the Episcopal Church and How to Reform Her

 

Oct 6, 2026
The film features the Rev. Jake Dell, author of the forthcoming memoir “Exile and Return” (Good Hill Books, Nov. 17, 2026); podcaster and vestry member Ann Jambor; the Rev. Ian Montgomery; and the Rev. John Jordan. Combining archival footage with firsthand accounts, it traces the denomination’s changes from the late 20th century to the present — on sexuality, marriage, abortion, gender, biblical authority, clergy discipline and the power of bishops over local congregations. Its title engages the Episcopal Church’s best-known

We Went Looking for Britain's Lost Christian Soul

 

Jul 21, 2026
In this documentary, we travel across Britain in search of the Christian vision that once shaped our world — a land where the lives of the saints pointed beyond themselves, where creation spoke of its Creator, and where the ordinary was alive with the presence of God. We visit places like Iona, Lindisfarne, Whitby and Walsingham to see if that way of seeing can still be recovered today. Or has modernity left us as tourists amongst the ruins of a world long gone? Back into Enchantment is part travel documentary, part pilgrimage, and part personal exploration of faith. Along the way we visit the landscapes of St Cuthbert, St Aidan, St Hilda, St Columba and the Shrines of Our Lady of Walsingham, asking what they might still have to teach us about following Christ in the twenty-first century. Whether you’re a Christian, or fascinated by history, symbolism, pilgrimage, and the spiritual heritage of Britain, I hope this film gives you something to think about.

King Charles prays with Pope Leo in the Sistine Chapel

 
 
The King and the Queen are in Rome today for a landmark visit that will include a historic moment. Charles is expected at the Vatican this morning to pray alongside Pope Leo, marking the first joint prayer of a British monarch and a Pope in some 500 years. That dates back to the formation of the Church of England, breaking away from the Roman Catholic Church.

The Jerusalem Declaration

In the name of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit:

We, the participants in the Global Anglican Future Conference, have met in the land of Jesus’ birth. We express our loyalty as disciples to the King of kings, the Lord Jesus. We joyfully embrace his command to proclaim the reality of his kingdom which he first announced in this land. The gospel of the kingdom is the good news of salvation, liberation and transformation for all. In light of the above, we agree to chart a way forward together that promotes and protects the biblical gospel and mission to the world, solemnly declaring the following tenets of orthodoxy which underpin our Anglican identity.

  1. We rejoice in the gospel of God through which we have been saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit. Because God first loved us, we love him and as believers bring forth fruits of love, ongoing repentance, lively hope and thanksgiving to God in all things.
  2. We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments to be the Word of God written and to contain all things necessary for salvation. The Bible is to be translated, read, preached, taught and obeyed in its plain and canonical sense, respectful of the church’s historic and consensual reading.
  3. We uphold the four Ecumenical Councils and the three historic Creeds as expressing the rule of faith of the one holy catholic and apostolic Church.
  4. We uphold the Thirty-nine Articles as containing the true doctrine of the Church agreeing with God’s Word and as authoritative for Anglicans today.
  5. We gladly proclaim and submit to the unique and universal Lordship of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, humanity’s only Saviour from sin, judgement and hell, who lived the life we could not live and died the death that we deserve. By his atoning death and glorious resurrection, he secured the redemption of all who come to him in repentance and faith.
  6. We rejoice in our Anglican sacramental and liturgical heritage as an expression of the gospel, and we uphold the 1662 Book of Common Prayer as a true and authoritative standard of worship and prayer, to be translated and locally adapted for each culture.
  7. We recognise that God has called and gifted bishops, priests and deacons in historic succession to equip all the people of God for their ministry in the world. We uphold the classic Anglican Ordinal as an authoritative standard of clerical orders.
  8. We acknowledge God’s creation of humankind as male and female and the unchangeable standard of Christian marriage between one man and one woman as the proper place for sexual intimacy and the basis of the family. We repent of our failures to maintain this standard and call for a renewed commitment to lifelong fidelity in marriage and abstinence for those who are not married.
  9. We gladly accept the Great Commission of the risen Lord to make disciples of all nations, to seek those who do not know Christ and to baptise, teach and bring new believers to maturity.
  10. We are mindful of our responsibility to be good stewards of God’s creation, to uphold and advocate justice in society, and to seek relief and empowerment of the poor and needy.
  11. We are committed to the unity of all those who know and love Christ and to building authentic ecumenical relationships. We recognise the orders and jurisdiction of those Anglicans who uphold orthodox faith and practice, and we encourage them to join us in this declaration.
  12. We celebrate the God-given diversity among us which enriches our global fellowship, and we acknowledge freedom in secondary matters. We pledge to work together to seek the mind of Christ on issues that divide us.
  13. We reject the authority of those churches and leaders who have denied the orthodox faith in word or deed. We pray for them and call on them to repent and return to the Lord.
  14. We rejoice at the prospect of Jesus’ coming again in glory, and while we await this final event of history, we praise him for the way he builds up his church through his Spirit by miraculously changing lives.

“We are now the Global Anglican Communion”

 
 
“We are now the Global Anglican Communion,” says Archbishop Laurent Mbanda — the Chair of Gafcon, Primate of Rwanda, and leader of Global Anglicans. Bible-believing Anglicans around the world are praising God today. The Anglican Communion is being reordered — reset — with the Bible once again at its foundation. The Archbishop of Canterbury, the revisionists, and the so-called Canterbury Communion are out — they’ve repeatedly abandoned Cranmerian Anglicanism, and ultimately, Jesus himself. This reordering seeks to restore the Communion’s original structure — a fellowship of autonomous provinces bound together by the Formularies of the Reformation. There will be no communion with those who have abandoned the authority of Scripture. A new Council of Primates will be formed, electing a chairman to preside as primus inter pares — first among equals. Archbishop Mbanda is here in Sydney this week with a group of Primates and the founding fathers of Gafcon. Their informal consultations culminated in a clear and momentous statement — so significant that an online Global Primates Meeting was held at 11 p.m. Sydney time last night to ratify the decisions made. Many of those leaders are now on planes heading home. But Archbishop Mbanda, joins us in our Pastor’s Heart studio.

The New Archbishop of Canterbury: A Turning Point for the Church?

 
Oct 4, 2025 Rev Dan's Podcast
This week’s announcement of Dame Sarah Mullaly as the next Archbishop of Canterbury marks a defining moment for the Church of England. Is this a new dawn of progress — or the continuation of a long drift away from biblical conviction? In this video, Rev Dan explores what this appointment really reveals about the direction of the national church, the growing gap between hierarchy and local parishes, and what it means for those trying to stay faithful within a compromised institution. We’ll talk about leadership, theology, the faithful remnant, and the hope that Christ will still build His Church — even when institutions falter.

A HISTORIC MOMENT FOR THE ANGLICAN COMMUNION

A HISTORIC MOMENT FOR THE ANGLICAN COMMUNION

The Church of England announced that Bishop Sarah Mullally, the Bishop of London, has been nominated to serve as the 106th Archbishop of Canterbury. When she is installed at Canterbury Cathedral, Bishop Sarah will be the first woman ever to hold the office in the Church’s 1,500-year history.

The Archbishop of Canterbury is the most senior bishop in the Church of England and serves as first among equals for theAnglican Communion–a worldwide body of 85 million members across 165 countries. In addition to her leadership in the Church, the Archbishop is also one of the Lords Spiritual in the British House of Lords.

Bishop Sarah is no stranger to ‘firsts.’ She was the first woman to serve as Bishop of London, one of the most senior positions in the Church of England, and before entering ordained ministry, she was the youngest Chief Nursing Officer ever appointed in England. Her career has consistently been marked by faithful service, pastoral listening, and a commitment to healing.

Bishop Susan Brown Snook said, “I am delighted at the appointment of Bishop Sarah Mullally as the new Archbishop of Canterbury. In addition to her solid reputation as a faithful and inspiring church leader, Bishop Sarah has the distinction of serving as the first woman Archbishop of Canterbury. It is heartwarming to see this kind of affirmation of the ministry of ordained women at all levels of the church.”

For Bishop Susan, this historic step recalls the election of Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori as Presiding Bishop of TheEpiscopal Church in 2006:

“I was a young priest then, and I recall feeling astonished and gratified that her election affirmed my own calling as an ordained woman. I felt that her election signified that my church was taking my ministry seriously. Years later, the appointment of the first woman Archbishop of Canterbury leads me to give thanks that the ministry of women is now recognized and affirmed at the very top levels of our worldwide communion of faith.”

At the same time, Bishop Susan acknowledged the challenges Bishop Sarah will face as she steps into this historic role.

“Former Archbishop Justin Welby resigned under a shadow, and Archbishop Sarah will need to address the lingering hurts and conflicts from that situation. In addition, there is a movement underfoot to reduce the power and influence of the Archbishop of Canterbury while increasing the power of the Primates of the 42-member churches of the Anglican Communion. I do not regard this as a helpful move for our church, and I recognize that the new Archbishop enters her role at a time when the Anglican Communion is fractured and conflicted. I pray that Archbishop Sarah will be able to bring her considerable gifts to bear in bringing unity and a sense of common mission to the Anglican Communion.”

As we mark this historic moment for the Anglican Communion, let us remember our call to hold one another in prayer. Let us pray for Archbishop-designate Sarah Mullally as she prepares for this new ministry, that God may grant her wisdom, courage, and grace. Let us also lift up the Anglican Communion, that we may grow in unity and faithful witness to Christ’s love. And let us pray for our own Episcopal Church, that we may continue to affirm the ministries of all God’s people and live into the courageous love to which Christ calls us.
