After much reflection I have decided to allow my name to go forward for the role of Chancellor of the University of Oxford. I am the anti-establishment anti-woke candidate. Voting will take place the week beginning 28th October. @UniofOxford @Telegraph @GBNEWS @OxfordUnion

82% of global Anglicans officially no longer recognise the Archbishop of Canterbury as the primus inter pares. Welby has lost the Communion. The honourable thing to do would be to resign. #gafcon23

This is how Sir David Amess MP, a devout follower of Jesus, celebrated his knighthood. What zest for life! And now, in the presence of his divine King, he hears a Voice saying to him ‘Arise Sir David, good and faithful servant.’ And we who remain will never be cowed by hatred.

Quotes from @DeanOfYork tonight at @York_Minster : ‘Don’t believe everything you read in the Gospels.’ ‘Let’s leave aside whether Jesus rose from the dead.’ This is why the @FreeChurchEng is establishing a new faithful Anglican church in York that actually believes the gospel.

Just heard a barnstorming sermon in a packed out spirit filled rural Sussex CofE village parish church preached by a 17 yr old guy. He ditched climate alarmism and identity politics and instead preached Jesus and his powerful gospel of salvation. Absolutely brilliant.

Q: Why is the CofE cutting clergy posts? A: Because giving is plummeting due to tanking attendance. Q: But won’t the cuts accelerate the decline? A: Yes. It’s a vicious cycle. The only way out is for all clergy to return to orthodox, historic, biblically faithful evangelism.

When a hateful theology leads to terror and violence, that theology must be publicly named, repudiated, and rejected, and it must be publicly replaced with the only true theology: the gospel of Jesus Christ, who is love and light incarnate. Anything else is appeasement and folly.

The 2016 EU referendum showed that there’s a silent non-woke majority. One reason that such a large majority of people are disaffected when it comes to the CofE is that it panders to wokery, an anti-gospel philosophy. Our new Anglican congregation in York will be non-woke.
