Church of England to 're-evangelise England'

The Church of England's General Synod has approved a motion to "re-evangelise" England.

A new Task Group will also be created to put evangelism at the top of its agenda. 

The Archbishop of York, Dr. John Sentamu , introducing a debate on intentional evangelism, said: "next to worship, witness is the primary and urgent task of the Church." 

"Compared with evangelism everything else is like re-arranging furniture when the house is on fire," he said. 

"Making disciples is at the heart of our Christian faith and our Anglican tradition." 

Meanwhile women bishops are back on the agenda at Synod. Over the past twelve months a steering committee has been working to find a way to introduce females into the senior roles while keeping traditionalists happy. Revd Canon Jonathan Ford is a Synod member. He told Premier's Inspirational Breakfast there will be a vote but it won't lead to a change in legislation. 

A Monthly Gift Of $11 Makes A World Of Difference

In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.

Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.

For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.

Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
