As a result, Islamic clerics will be entitled to apply for the top job when the current Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, steps down.

But the move us sure to upset many purists in the Church of England, who will see it as a "cheap publicity stunt".

Suffolk campaigner, the Rev Evan Elpuss has long argued that archbishops should really have to be members of the Church of England.

The vicar from Aldeburgh explained: "We have nothing against Islam, or Muslims in general. In fact, we are all for reaching out and working together for the common good.

We often hear it taught that Christ prayed for unity above everything else, so we should strive for unity at any cost. We are hearing this now as we face a fractured Anglican Communion with divided views on identity and sexuality. 'Disagreement is a bad witness to the world. Why can't evangelicals lay differences aside?' Are evangelicals wrong to stand for apostolic truth, at the potential cost of separation, even fragmentation?

Let's first look at what Jesus prayed, then begin by identifying one obvious and key question: 'Who is this desired unity between?'

But how can we love someone we do not know? So, it is an obvious truth that there is a prior condition to loving God--we first must get to know>I> Him.

Jesus told us to seek first God's Kingdom and spiritual things, and then everything else would take care of itself (Matthew 6:20-33). Of course, the best and most obvious way to seek the Kingdom of God and spiritual things is to seek the actual King ... and learn from Him.

4. If the Church of England and the Archbishop of Canterbury want us to "walk together", then we call on him to stop this process so as not to affect the life of the Church of England itself and the Anglican Communion as a whole. It is still time to do it.

5. The Anglican Church of Chile recognizes the biblical marriage between a man and a woman in a monogamous and lifelong union; historically reflected in our Founding Documents (the Thirty-Nine Articles of Religion, the Book of Common Prayer of 1662, and the Second Book of homilies on the State of Marriage - No.18).

I first met representatives from the Diocese of Florida in 2018 when they visited my seminary, Wycliffe College, an evangelical Anglican theological college within the University of Toronto, in order to recruit. Between 2018 and 2019 while I was in discernment conversations, I was told by a representative of the Diocese's office on multiple occasions that Bishop Howard was retiring soon, and that he wanted to ordain as many evangelicals as possible in order to secure a conservative win in the forthcoming election.

Last week, Moshe Gafni and Yaakov Asher -- two members of the Knesset, the Israeli Parliament -- presented a bill that expressly forbids evangelisation, declaring illegal any effort to bear witness to the life of Jesus and His teachings. For transgressors, if approved, penalties of up to one year in prison are foreseen.

Many, especially the younger generation who form nearly 70% of the population of 214million people ( with 40% under 18), have been frustrated with the massive and blatant corruption, mismanagement of resources and insecurity. A third of Nigerians are unemployed and 40% of the 5 to 11-year-olds do not go to school.

The continuous attacks and kidnappings by radical Islamist militia groups in central, north-eastern and north-western parts of the country have impacted especially the rural Christian villages in central Nigeria.

Stuart Bell, in his powerful speech following his consecration, said that the emergence of ACE in Wales is a tragic necessity in the face of false teaching in the national church. The Archbishop and his Bishops may sincerely believe that all Anglicans in Wales should simply accept what has happened and "live with difference". But this is not the view of the vast majority of the Anglican Communion. Both Gafcon and the Global South Fellowship of Anglican have stated clearly that the leadership of the Church in Wales have violated Lambeth 1:10 and further torn the fabric of the Communion.

In one of the bluntest passages in the rebuttal, the committee wrote: "The Court of Review has demonstrated that it was gathering evidence to support the objections, but never sought evidence from those supporting the election. It often ignored evidence contrary to its final report. In so doing, the Court acted with bias and forfeited its role as a neutral institution. This precedent should be a concern to every bishop and diocese in the church."

Rebuttal focuses on the role of the court president

First, I want you to know that I am determined to be the best bishop and pastor to ALL the people of the diocese. I will work to create a big tent community filled with the loving spirit of belonging in Jesus Christ.

The AAF was involved from the very beginning in Accokeek's heart-breaking dispute with Acting Bishop Jane Dixon in 2001. Her stunning rejection of Accokeek's elected Rector, Father Samuel Edwards, led her to file a personal secular lawsuit as Jane Dixon citizen, after he was cleared of all her charges by his own Diocese of Ft. Worth. We refer to the following 2001 article by Episcopal News Service (in part):
