I’m glad – on behalf of this Anglican Mainstream column – to report, support and comment on the event last week when the Anglican Mission in England (AMIE) held its inaugural event on Wednesday June 22 during a conference in central London at which I was present.
Anglican Mainstream – being a network that embraces a broad range of orthodox Anglicans – includes both those who favour women clergy and bishops, and those who have principled objections; but we all strongly support a legally secure place for the latter. We have no declared blueprint for securing orthodoxy in the Church of England but welcome all approaches to securing orthodoxy.
AMIE stated in its press release that “it has been established as a society within the Church of England dedicated to the conversion of England and biblical church planting. There is a steering committee and a panel of bishops. The bishops aim to provide effective oversight in collaboration with senior clergy.”
Thus AMIE (the feminine of ‘friend’ in French) takes its place among the many voluntary societies in the Church of England which are a feature of its life.
