At this time I am standing because I love the Church, and in particular because I love the Church of England, which has nurtured my faith and given me the gift of theological education and ministerial formation, the opportunity to minister as part of the established church with its parish system, which serves every mile of this country, and whose doctrines and formularies are generous and faithful to the inheritance we have received in Christ, while remaining distinctly Reformed and Catholic.
At the same time, my theological instincts are firmly Reformed: I’m shaped by a strong commitment to the authority of Scripture, the centrality of grace, anda desire for evangelism that is both doctrinally clear and pastorally grounded.
