Apparently, the extremely liberal, The Very Rev’d Colin Slee, Dean of Southwark, has alleged that the Bishop of Rochester’s recently announced resignation is the first step in setting up an alternative church. Mr Slee is a man paid to be a senior member of a church who has stated " We've all got to have the courage to say some of the Scripture is complete rubbish." [He was talking about his personal views on homosexuality not being quite congruent with those of God!]
Whether his assertion about Michael Nazir-Ali is true or not obviously, I cannot say but if this happens and undermines the influence of the likes of the overtitled Mr Slee, then so be it!
My thanks to Charles Raven.
