Fulcrum’s reflections on the decisions relating to marriage at the 2016 General Convention of TEC.
The address given on Friday 26 June 2015 at a lunch event organised by the Center for Anglican Communion Studies (of Virginia Theological Seminary) and the Compass Rose Society, at General Convention of The Episcopal Church, Salt Lake City.
The Archbishop of Canterbury, the Church Mission Society and Durham University have partnered to create an innovative seven-year post to promote theological reflection, with a particular focus on Africa, Asia and Latin America. The new Mission Theologian in the Anglican Communion, Bishop Graham Kings, reflects on his new calling.
John Martin outlines the new post of Mission Theologian in the Anglican Communion, which Dr Graham Kings, currently Bishop of Sherborne, takes up on 16 July 2015. He gives some background to Dr Kings’s life and vocation and to the post, which was created by a partnership of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Durham University and the Church Mission Society.
We are excited to announce this important new initiative and congratulate Bishop Graham Kings, a co-founder of Fulcrum and our Theological Secretary, on his appointment to the post.
Professor David F. Ford’s address at a memorial service for Bishop Stephen Sykes
An address delivered on 3rd November 2014 in Hooker’s Church, St Andrew’s Boscombe, Wiltshire where Hooker served 1591-95.
Anglicans in Asia are a fragile and numerically insignificant community in such a mission context…The vision of being part of a holy catholic people speaks powerfully to peoples whose social identity is violated, forgotten or dismissed amid constant volatility. To incarnate the presence of the holy catholic society therefore goes into the heart of being Anglican. If this recalling of the spiritual journey of being Anglican makes our hearts and minds more alert to this gift of God for the Anglican family of churches worldwide, perhaps then we can see each other beyond geopolitical blocs and binaries, and become freed to strike new paths with fresh graces of the Spirit for the present day.
