Revd Philip de Grey-Warter's Story about Leaving the CofE 

The C of E has always been political. It is the established church with the King as the Head and Supreme Governor. This has been the same since 1534. The problem is the woke agenda which is in direct contravention of the Gospel and the basic tenets of the universal church. That's why I no longer associate myself with the Church of England.

The Resurrection is an example of what becomes of us after death. It is the Cross that we must all take heed for our own journey.

True we should repent when found we mislead ourselves. Follow the Cross obediently and suffer with Christ.

Hello how are you doing hope you're safe over there??

You are absolutely correct ,Maurice. The CoE is diluting/ignoring the Gospel and failing to follow the Lord's injunction to go into all the world and preach the Gospel. Its attitude to clear Biblical teaching and principles on moral issues is disgraceful and approaching apostasy .

Should the biblical Anglicans not stay and change the church for inside? It starts with more biblical bishops being elected. It begins with the Bible being taught on Trinity. Pray and step out in faith.

​@@berean1703The CoE refused to admit Calvin Robinson to the priesthood because he refused to adhere to their woke agenda. With a woke hierarchy choosing those who will preach from their pulpits there is no chance of reforming the church from the inside. Unfortunately those chosen as priests by the CoE from now on will simply preach. The gospel of Christ has been exchanged for the gospel of the world. When you preach worldliness and endorse sin then you cease to be the church of Christ.

Having prayers and blessings for same-sex couples in church.

You're right that it is not clear. See my reply to "Hear God's Word", who replied to you.

@@HearGodsWord It wasn't about same-sex blessings. This recording was made in 2019 (I think) -- well before the prayers for same-sex couples idea that was adopted in 2023. The guidance to which he objected was about using the baptismal liturgy for those who wished to mark gender-transition. That guidance can be read by typing something like this into your search engine: church of england bishop's guidance on baptism and gender transition

*Addendum-* the pro-LBGTQA+ advocating Archdeacon didn't last more than a year and he resigned after not being recieved by many C of E churches where I live. Our new one is, in my view, a Spirit-filled, Bible-believing, prophetically-minded person, as I had a good chat with him, so maybe things are looking up! Hallelujah and shalom.

Harry, please look for the bible references for the "seven sacraments"a that you now believe in, because they are not there; they are the inventions of men, not God. There are only two sacraments 1. the Lords supper: Mark 14:22-25, Luke 22:18-20,1 Corinthians 11:23-25. 2. Immersion baptism. Actss 2:38 and Acts16:30-33. Then read through this book: www.iconbusters.com/iconbusters/htm/catalogue/turretin.pdf and you will learn where the RC Church extra five came from. Also, remember: Philippians 2:12-13 “Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, WORK OUT YOUR OWN SALVATION WITH FEAR AND TREMBLING for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.”

What a pity you have gone to the RC church. Are you aware that it is official RC doctrine that the Pope (and the church) trump the Bible. If there is any conflict then you must now agree with the Pope. As a previous comment says, there are not 7 sacraments, there are only two. You also have now to agree with the changes the RC church makes to the 10 commandments. There are MANY more examples but it’s very sad that you’ve turned your back on the authority of the Bible. Please think again.

Dear Harry I would ask you to ponder in your heart the answer to this question: "In what do I place my trust?" It appears from your comment that you did not find within the Anglican Church a religious organization worthy of your trust and have turned to the Roman Catholic system of religion as the appropriate focus of your faith, your trust. In both cases you have missed the mark. The Gospel is placing your trust for your salvation in a PERSON, the Lord Jesus Christ, God incarnate NOT in ANY religious system. Grace, which is the unmerited favor of the Father to enable you to accept that Jesus IS God, that He willingly accepted death on the cross to absolve you from the penalty of your sin, and was resurrected again to provide you with proof that God the Father accepted the sacrifice and payment that His Son made for YOU. It is a FREE gift to you for you to either accept and trust and be granted eternal life, or for you to reject and relegate yourself to eternal, conscious, punishment as payment for your sin. Jesus said: John 6:47 "He that believeth ON (trusts) me hath eternal life." He did NOT say "Believe ON" AND -- do anything else. This is The Way to eternal life GUARANTEED to you and for you by God Himself. You have HIS word on it. To take any other course is your declaration that Jesus Christ is a liar. It is Jesus alone, as God, that is the proper focus for your trust. Do that and God the Father will also give you, as a gift, the FAITH to hold on yo your trust. Roman Catholicism would demand that you place your trust in a system of Sacraments, God's "terms" to your way of thinking, to "perhaps" secure eternal life, that IS the teaching of heretical bishops, the foremost of whom is the Pope. In effect, a system of works, through which you "earn" enough of God's favor that He will take your soul to heaven. Please, dear Sir, read the Book of Romans, carefully, with an open mind as the Apostle Paul gives you everything in that book that you need to know to come to Christ as your Saviour, as your Lord, and how to live a wonderful rewarding Christian life. May God open your eyes to see HIS truth and give you a welcoming heart.

@@leepicker67 well said. Thank you.

@@briandunning2974 the Pope’s role is the Petrine Office given in Scripture.

"Last month, during its regular December meeting, the House of Bishops published new guidance on how an existing rite, for the Affirmation of Baptismal Faith, could be used to enable transgender adults to mark their transition. The House decided that no special or new liturgy should be prepared for this purpose. Instead, it decided that existing liturgy could be used, and has provided guidance for clergy on how they could use it in this context, should they wish to do so."

@@mrbrit6746 understood. Thanks for the clarification.

Hello how are you doing hope you're safe over there??

So you are trying to work your way to heaven then?

@@GailOwens " But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by ]my works. 19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe-and tremble! 20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? 22 Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect? 23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” And he was called the friend of God. 24 You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only. 2 James: 18-24.

The COE has been a wishy washy, non inspirational church for all of my life. Even during my religious instruction period at school during the 1960's-70's, 9 times out of 10, no instructor would even bother to turn up, and it just became another wasted period. I ended up asking the Catholic priest if I could sit in on his religious instruction class (because my best friend was a Catholic). The Catholic priest allowed this (even though I was COE not Catholic) and he never failed to be in attendance, unlike his COE counterpart. His lessons were not dull, but rather entertaining, due to his enthusiasm and communicative skills. I never became a Catholic, but I did and still do, feel let down by the COE. I'm looking for a new church now (due to moving house and home) and it is a shame that I can't in all good faith, even consider the COE as a possibility. Even though I haven't attended a COE church in many, many years, I have noticed over the years, their further slide into being an apathetic, Church of the World, instead of an engaged and faithful Church of Christ. God bless!

@@GailOwens why do you say that? Genuinely interested.

Well said. Because they preserve the holy lineage - which is what this intelligent man is talking about.

"Last month, during its regular December meeting, the House of Bishops published new guidance on how an existing rite, for the Affirmation of Baptismal Faith, could be used to enable transgender adults to mark their transition. The House decided that no special or new liturgy should be prepared for this purpose.

And you cannot make a decision for Jesus on behalf of another, as godparents of infants are called upon to do.

Why hasn’t he spoken out the actual directive? Brave to leave but no courage to tell the world, through this recording, what the actual heresy is. He’s gone around it. There’s many, including me, who don’t know what he’s talking about. Why have the label of Anglian, if they are perverting The Word of God? Confusing.

I believe her was referring to this: "Last month, during its regular December meeting, the House of Bishops published new guidance on how an existing rite, for the Affirmation of Baptismal Faith, could be used to enable transgender adults to mark their transition.

we know this Church. One of the members is in our bible study and I have heard some of the pastor's sermons What a great enterprise these obedient souls are embarking on!

Yes - because it's done by AI, which I personally believe is a tool of Satan.

What a load of rot.

@@GailOwens really? “In baptism we die with Christ so that we might also share his resurrection”. St Paul I think. Bible believing Christians who don’t know their bible. Baptism is one of the seven sacraments. It is not a symbol. It is an outward sign of an inward grace that works a real change in the recipient. This is the teaching of the Church, as it was since the time of the apostles. That’ll be the Catholic Church btw.

You way off..... Off.. Off...

Jesus told the thief on the cross next to him: "Today, you'll be with me in paradise" because of the thief's repentance and faith. When and how did the thief get baptized? It's the Holy Spirit who is the catalyst for our regeneration (Titus 3.5), and getting baptized out of obedience reflects this regeneration that's already begun. Baptism is a sign, or at least it was for Jesus. He didn't need his heart to be regenerated, as he is sinless, yet he was baptized. There is no evidence the thief was baptized, but Jesus saw that his heart was being regenerated, as no one can come to faith in Christ without the Holy Spirit. On the other hand, many who treat baptism as just part of a salvation checklist and think the act of baptism will save them without repentance and regeneration from the Holy Spirit will have been baptized in vain.

Perhaps people find your own accent peculiar

The original church is the Orthodox church.

The original church was the sermon given on the mount, the Roman corruption of the church can be taken with a pinch of salt. Especially under the current Pope.

I believe he was referring to this: "Last month, during its regular December meeting, the House of Bishops published new guidance on how an existing rite, for the Affirmation of Baptismal Faith, could be used to enable transgender adults to mark their transition. The House decided that no special or new liturgy should be prepared for this purpose. Instead, it decided that existing liturgy could be used, and has provided guidance for clergy on how they could use it in this context, should they wish to do so."

@@mrbrit6746 None of this surprises me. It is already happening in the Old Catholic Church in the Netherlands which is in Communion with the Anglican Communion. It has happened in the Old Catholic Church of St Peter and St Paul in Amsterdam and in the OC Church of St Anna and St Maria in Haarlem where I was a witness. I do not think that any Priest is forced to do this against their conscience and therefore do not see it as an adequate reason for resignation.

Read your Bible and you will see who is following God's will.

@@MelindaESquire I read the Bible every day.
