From the Church of England Evangelical Council:
“In writing to Timothy, Paul implores Timothy to live and teach in keeping with the gospel he has taught (1 Timothy 4:12-13) and indicates his never failing prayerful support for Timothy (2 Timothy 1:3).
It is our conviction that the Church of England needs evangelicals to pray afresh, and with this Pauline commitment, for her leaders, and in particular for those who are called to ordained leadership and the public ministry of preaching and teaching…
Recently there have been a number of public pronouncements and actions that undermine or are a direct challenge to the authority of Holy Scripture and the faith revealed in it and expressed in the tradition and teaching of the Church of England…
We therefore invite evangelicals in all the English Dioceses to renew a commitment to praying for those who lead God’s church.”
It would be good for Australian evangelical Anglicans to pray similarly.
What we believe
The message at the heart of Christianity is really quite simple…
