Conservative, charismatic and open. Really? - a response by Canon Dr Graham Kings

http://www.anglican-mainstream.net/?p=1811

[Anglican Mainstream] 22 June 2007--The ‘evangelical centre’ are moderate conservative, open and charismatic evangelical Anglicans.

It may be worth pondering that amongst Anglicans, there are some extreme conservative evangelicals who are ’six-day creationists’; there are some extreme open evangelicals who see no problem with gay people who are in sexual relationships being consecrated as bishops; there are some extreme charismatics who downplay the medical profession and see demon possession everywhere. These examples, it seems to me, would not be within the ‘evangelical centre’. As David Martin has pointed out, ‘the unbounded is soon the empty’.
