Is there any chance of getting hold of Jim Packer’s talk from All Souls Langham Place? (he spoke there after the Eastbourne Event)

Orthodox – Merriam Webster Dictionary
“conforming to established doctrine especially in religion”

See Packer’s point on ‘Anglicanism’ – it is based on principles not practise. Anglicanism is reformed and evangelical as is shown in the 39 Articles, the ‘established doctrine’ of Anglicanism.

The ‘established doctrine’ of Christianity is revealed in the Scriptures, and can be seen in the teaching of the Apostles.

Packer was ’sacked’ because some who deny orthodox Christian teachings have gained positions of authority in the church. Yes, the lunatics are running the asylum.

39 Articles – check out 4 and 18, basic Christianity, the likes of Ingham, masquerading as Anglicans, in fact masquerading as Christians do not believe the most foundational points of confessional faith.

Hugh, you know full well there is not just one Tradition in Anglicanism.
The fact that you say I am “masquerading” proves my point. You want only one Tradition – yours, and everything else “purged”.
I guess that Packer is “orthodox”.
Is that why he was sacked?

PS I’m “orthodox” and am still employed!

I’m guessing since you choose the title ‘Father’ that you are in fact a Catholic masquerading as an Anglican?
Packer represents orthodox Christianity, that which is revealed in the scriptures and is demonstrated by the Apostles and early church, and of course the reformers and Articles on which the Anglican church is built.

And there was I thinking Anglicanism was a Broad Church.
Evangelicals must learn that the Church doesn’t belong to them, no matter how much they’d like to take it over.
Packer represents the ugly side of zealotry.
