Anglican Men of faith learn about their role in the Kindgom from Archbishop Greg Venables.
The above line is a 53-minute presentation by the Archbishop.
I call him Greg because I'm old enough. I call him Greg--man to man, just as St. Paul called himself Paul to his congregations. Ecclesiastically, he is an Archbishop.
Quite frequently, Greg does not wear a collar. This stands in contrast with some Anglo-Catholics who emphasize their fashion, vestments and haberdashery.
Also, notably, Greg sounds evangelical, but not Confessional in the Reformed catechetical sense--the things children once were taught. Yet, he touches on themes that we understand.
Greg has played an important role in the establishment of GAFCON. For non-Anglican readers, this was the gathering of some 300 Global South Bishops in 2008 who reaffirmed the 39 Articles, the BCP, and the historic ordinal. GAFCON stands for Global Anglican Conference. GAFCON represents 75% of worldwide Anglicanism. In this conference, there was a challenge to the liberalized--and in many ways, apostate--global north, notably, Canterbury.
We continue our path of listening and discernment.
