The Way Ahead postcard inviteThe Way Ahead for the Church of England

Friday 19th November, 8pm-9.30pm at Eden Baptist Church, Cambridge CB1 1ER

A talk from Paul Perkin, Vicar of St Mark’s Battersea Rise, Chair of Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans UK and member of the outgoing General Synod.

The evening will be hosted by Simon Scott, Rector of All Saints Little Shelford and Peter Cunliffe, Vicar of St James Hemingford Grey.

Whatever our views on the current situation in the Church of England, it will be good for us to meet together and think through some of the issues: “Is there any need for the Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans?” “How can the Church of England best advance the nationwide spread of the gospel?”

Paul Perkin has a background in church-planting, experience on General Synod and links to New Wine and Reform, so he is well qualified to guide our thoughts with wisdom and grace.

There will be a time for questions.
