Thanks for this brilliant talk. In 1997, after working four jobs (at the same time) to complete seminary, I was told that in order be ordained in the Episcopal church I would have to embrace the gay lifestyle and become an activist gay priest. My sponsoring priest did not support me and my parish did not support me. I withdrew from the process and searched for a way to fulfill my calling. When I turned to the conservative leaders looking for help, I was pegged as a trouble maker and my ordination process was put on hold for 11 years. I never got ordained, and have had to pursue my vocation outside the church. I have watched my church, the Anglican church, disintegrate around the world. I have again warned my friends here that it was coming, and the consequences in the UK would be much worse than other places. Thanks Andy for speaking clearly. When I was your age there was no one speaking like you and the others who are using the internet wisely to clearly speak the truth in love. Keep up the good work.

Thank you, I am sorry for the CoE. This is a warning all Christians should take seriously. Your Catholic brother.

As a Roman Catholic I'm looking with great respect at what is Happening in the Church of England. I find very brave people like you who have courage to witness their faith in the Truth of Christ. Let's pray for each other the Holy Spirit because our church leaders be converted to the gospel of Jesus and lead our churches to perfect unity in the love of Christ. There is no point in dividing Christians into conservatives and progressives: either we are Christians or we are not.

I understand what you are saying, I was Anglican for a number of years and had the same conserns you have. I ended up leaving the Church of England due to the inovations which were coming in (in my case women bishops were the last straw). I took refuge in the Orthodox Church where I found the saturation in scriptures in every service and a loyalty to trodition and practice within the church which can be traced back to the first cenury and the practtice of the Apostles. I do say anyone has to convert but at least come and see and experence with an open mind the liturgical services of an Orthodox Church once. I know many Orthodox who worship in the language and read the Gosples in the same language as the Apostles wrote them, in Koine Greek, and who say the creed in the exact words it was writen in.

Really good to hear you speaking out on this Andy!

Well said young man. There is hope for our Church with your and other young people mindset God Bless Amen

Very well said and I’m pleased to find your channel. Oh where is the unity that Jesus prayed for in John 17! 😞

Hi Andy this is amazing to find a bible man teaching theology thats easy to understand .

Amen! Well said. Praying for you all.

Amen and amen brother you are exactly right ✝️✝️✝️

Very gracefully and succinctly put, brother. Here in the US, The Episcopal Church is in even worse shape than the CofE, but unless course corrections are made, the CofE will look more like TEC within the next few decades. Praying for the faithful that remain in these churches and their spiritual flourishing in environments that are moving away from orthodoxy.

You leave out that there is a certain Mysticism that is palpable in the worship, the exquisite choral tradition...I am often moved to tears by the beauty of the Music in the church, and the overall beauty of the Liturgy itself.....

Thank you for sharing this. Like many, I am praying for the Church of England, as well as for the Anglican Church in Australia (where I live), and the church that I attend that also puts the world before God's word. I used to agree with a lot of progressive Christian ideas, but it was wanting to read God's word more, and watching online ministries, that helped me to repent.

Traditional worship and beliefs are not available in Anglican churches near where I live, so I now worship at the Catholic church.

Well said, young man. May God bless your commitment! If anyone wonders the how and why humanity has become so perverse and twisted, it is answered in Isaiah 5:10-18. The leaders of these churches, such as the CoE, has become an abomination in the eyes of God. Please do not yoke yourself with them. It is by design, right from the pit of hell. Stay strong brothers and sisters and buckle up. It's challenging times for the born again believers. 🙏💝

Thank you for this video. As an Episcopalian in the United States, I really think if we want to reclaim the Church for Christ, we must do it from the ground up. Luckily we still have a few moderately orthodox dioceses left, and lots of orthodox parishes. If those on the top of the food chain will not preach the Gospel nationally, it's up to us to do it locally. We will save souls and eventually, as the liberal branch of the church implodes, we'll win out. What province of the Anglican Communion are you in, if I may ask?

You are almost there. Follow your growing understanding just a little further and you will be back in the Universal Church. Despite having its own share of problems, it is the ultimate destination for each of us, for the world.

Great honest commentary.. very well articulated

Very well put

Amen! my dear friend & brother in CHRIST JESUS our Risen LORD & Saviour. I Thank & Praise GOD for your Steadfast & Unwaivering Witness of GOD by HIS WORD. You are Indeed Contending & In Battle for The Very WORD of GOD. By HIS HOLY SPIRIT In you HE Will Strengthen you & Keep you True to HIS HOLY WORD. And my dear brother & friend on The Day of HIS Glorious Returning, HE Will Recognise you & Acknowledge you before HIS FATHER. Because you have Not Denied HIM before men in your generation. Please Continue to be Bold in CHRIST JESUS for you are like Gideon A Mighty Warrior for GOD. 🙏🙌🙏

I feel your pain - I live in Shropshire - my Vicar is Biblically sound...but what happens when he retires? I admire some elements of the Catholic and Orthodox churches - but feel at home in the traditional Anglican Church - so really don't want to leave and don't know what to do! I keep praying the church will turn back from casting away the "pearl of great price" that the saints endured great hardship to establish here in the past. I feel shame at what we have done with the spiritual inheritance our forefathers bequeathed us. My church was founded by St. Chad around 600 AD - how long before all his work is undone and Christ is mocked openly in the churches he founded - it breaks my heart! 'I wonder if, in Northern Ireland - God has maintained a more Godly remnant - as we are always told here in England that Northern Ireland is more religious. I used to weep over your religious conflicts in Northern Ireland - but maybe in a strange way it has protected you from the evil that is infecting the Church in England (here's hoping you don't reply and say 'Nope, it's just as bad here!". However, I'm encouraged that one who is young like yourself has such zeal for the Lord's authentic word and the courage to stand up for it - I hope you don't suffer in your job at the church for speaking out. I've noticed that many younger people are biblical believers and love the old liturgies (not just in our church - but with the Latin Mass in Catholicism) - so maybe God is showing us some seeds of hope in convicted young people like yourself. I pray you never loose this zeal and zest for the Lord - it took me many years to turn my back on Agnosticism and seek the Lord - I wish I had had the courage to do it when I was your age. God Bless you!

Are you Anglo Catholic or Lower church thanks. Calvin Robinson is also playing his part. Im roman Catholic from Ireland and its good to see your standing up for your church

Amen, cousin.

Well said.

Yes, excellent video, but of course this rebellion was plain long ago which is why the Church of England Continuing is here and we'd welcome all sorts the join us, including those who have only just woken up to the need to separate from the Church of England.

Amen bro

Free evangelical reformed churches hold fast to the word of God and do not face pressures to compromise the truth

The church just allowed it's so called "defender of the faith" to include other gods into it's crowning. It has indeed fallen, fallen, fallen and I believe that is much worse than being luke warm. Luke warm you can heat up again but allowing blasphemy shows it is stone cold and worshipping others.

Us Roman Catholics are going through the same since Vatican II, btw you guys are always welcome to come home to Rome.

Thank you...that is absolutely what I go along with. Ik iw it's very controversial, but the excelleration of the destruction of the Anglican Church appears to coincide with the Ordination of women progressing on to the posts of Bishops. Didn't the downfall of man begin with Eve exerting her persuasion over Adam who accepted her suggestion to ' bite the Apple' ...... Just a thought.

God bless you, young brother.

We got our Apostolic Succession from Gregory the Great, and we have the AV Bible, the Prayer Book 1662/1928, and the 39 Articles, so we don't have to worry what Welby or Francis are saying or doing.

P.S ultimately the liturgy is not as important as hearing the Word preached. People need good, solid, expository teaching of the Scriptures. The Ministry of the Word in the Sermon MUST be central Matthew 24:14.

What are your thoughts on women bishops in the Church of England? Do you think that is biblical?

I am Anglican, but I am so glad I have left the CofE.

As an Aussie Anglican, I noticed some churches in our organization had been going very namby pamby...when years ago, it used to be filled with commonsense. Some of the congregation seem to be up with the fairies this last few years. The more I saw this, the more I welcomed the beginning of GAFCON.

A fitting sermon for the death of the CoE would be on Jesus's last words on the cross.

“.....Upon this rock , I shall build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail.....”. Mathew 16: 18. The Catholic Church was founded by Christ Himself.

I am reminded that Jesus Himself said He would build His Church and the Gates of hell will never prevail. So it’s begun.

"I don't believe you, you got the whole damn thing all wrong. He's not the kind you have to wind up on Sundays. Well you can excommunicate me on my way to Sunday school. Have all the bishops harmonize these lines!" I. Anderson 71

The Anglican church is like a branch cut off from the main tree, and planted itseelf elsewhere. It cut itself of off from its roots, so their invalid ordinations and sacraments broke the chain from Peter and the apostles. I’m sure Welby is fully aware of this too.

I'm an Anglican but they lost there way when they ordained women, they gave way to feminist culture. Before you jump u and down and scream heresy. Please read 1 Tim. Paul writing under inspiration of the holy spirit. This is Holy Scripture, God's Word are we higher than this. No man is. Paul's writing is either his own or its God's word. Paul also speaks on the glay people. And yet again we find parallel scriptures in the old Testament. God does not change he's still the God on the left hand side of the Bible as he is the right. I personally am going to find a Bible believing church that holds to proper authority of scripture.

I never saw an Anglican Church in Bhutan

All Anglican and forms of worship come from the Catholic church. Both Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic church are both founded by Jesus himself every other church was founded by Man. Unfortunately the CofE has lost its way many years ago now and the High anglo Catholic churxhes are getting pushed out. I am sure Justin will see this as the name he is tagged in this viceo but he probely wont change anything unfortunately. I really like your video and i agree the church should listen to its parishioners. But honesty the Catholic church is alwasy open and so is the Eastern Orthodox church and they're both be happy to receive anyone who wants to follow God and hes Church. God bless

He probably is watching it....but probably won't admit it though. But he should.

you see the beauty of the connection with the past ...... but you cut off the past ... you forgot abot your older past , your root ... the original , universal Catholic Church .... you cannot cut off your roots , you will dies.... and it is happening now...

I think you need to leave Brother. I love the BCP but I feel the Reformed Baptist Church I am now a member of serves my spiritual needs the most. The BCP and the 39 Articles are now held in contempt by the C of E except for a token nod with Evensong in some Cathedrals. Martyn Lloyd Jones was right and the Church of England is not as far gone as it is now. Rico Tice held on as long as he could but has now gone. The C of E has left Biblical Christians and not vice versa.

Eating and Drinking. Marrying and Giving in Marriage. The Flood will.come and sweep them.away.

The church of good taste.

Come home to the Catholic Church, everything you find in the Anglican Church has already existed in the Catholic Church for centuries. The anglicans started because king Henry VIII wanted a divorce. The pope wouldn’t allow it so the king tore all of England away from the Church. All the churches, monasteries in England were once Catholic and came from the Catholic Church. All your ceremonies are all rooted from the ancient traditions of the Catholic Church. We have all these beautiful ancient traditions in our Latin Masses! Come Home!

Even worse in the Methodist Church.

The novus order mass of the post Vatican ll hss adopted the anglican missal

No wonder, branches that break apart from the trunk are destined to decay. And that’s gonna happen to Protestant and Anglican churches fairly soon

If as believers we are not faithful to the Word as written in the Scriptures then there is no religion at all …..this is the whole nub of the argument. Archbishop Welby doesn’t get to make the rules God does ……man lives for a short time ….God is Eternal ……we live in His Creation ….worship Him as He declares …..obey His Rules …..it’s not difficult…..the Anglican Church is now an Apostate Church …..defiant and rebellious against God and there will be retribution……always in the Bible God asks for repentance and turn to Him again ……Israel refused and Gods wrath was brought down on Israel ……we will be judged and condemned….the answer is to turn ….ask for forgiveness and God will forgive

What is needed is for King Charles III to expropriate all the churches in England and to reset the theology. If it was done once by a man, it could be done again.

Or Justin Welby understands that the Anglican Church is Reformist and, as can be seen in the comments here, your approach to faith may be more inline with the Catholic Church?

What you say is all good stuff, but it's more pronounced in the TLM Catholic Church.

The Church of England has become a historical insitution.

When people say 'like' to many times. Anglican this, Anglican worship that. Lol because its cool? Lol, ahh man. Why not describe as a course, how againing knowledge helps personal development, here are some case studies.

Because there is ONE Lord, ONE faith, ONE baptism there's ONLY ONE Church and the Church of England is not it. The Church of England divorced itself from the REAL Church.

Blessing someone is NOT the same as condoning sin. When you take Holy Communion you are invited to come forward, those who don't feel able to share in bread and wine, receive a blessing. Nor is holding a wedding condoning the sin of the couple getting married, or there would be no weddings for all have sinned and fallen short of the Grace of God (Romans 3:23). Salvation is by grace not through good works lest any man may boast (Ephesians 2:8-9). Good works in Matthew 5:16 are to bring glory to the Father. The reason Jesus gave for His ministry is found in John 12:47. He came not to judge but to save. Indeed, in Matthew 7:1, we are commanded not to judge others. I know people accuse the Church of lowing its standards, and maybe it has in some areas; but I see its purpose is to reach out to the lost, just as Jesus reached out to you and to me.

you have been betrayed by Welby et al.

To my Catholic and Anglican brothers and sisters in Christ . Rev 18 :4 .

Ecclesiastes 5/4 HE takes no pleasure in fools

Very sad indeed. I empathize with you and wish you the very best. However to be completely frank with you I am not surprised at all that this is happening. I would like to point out one thing. The ordination of women bishops virtually guarantees that the Church of England will continue down the path that you lament. This is principally because their legitimacy as bishops depend entirely on the new theology which runs contrary to the traditional elements of Anglicanism. It is no coincidence that the dismantling of traditional Anglican beliefs have occurred practically in step with the ordination of women bishops. I am not saying that women priests and bishops are bad people or incompetent. What I mean is that realistically they will never ever change the system which legitimizes them and the new system is the one that you are speaking out against. It’s that simple. Obviously it’s not just women who want to change the Church of England. There are lots of men in the C of E who support the total overhaul and change of the church. To be frank I think you’re fighting a losing battle. The Catholic Church doesn’t have this problem because we have watched from afar many times over the centuries as Protestant denominations have fractured over questions of theology.

Well the Cof E was founded on a split ss it's not surprising that it's fragmenting again When you split from the sea of Peter you created multiple denominations of other splits You need to get back to the church Christ founded when on earth Himself not one founded by a temporal ruler All the universality and liturgy you mention is in that church as well as the seven valid sacraments necessary for your salvattion Get back to the church that has the Authority Christ gave it to validate your ordinations Splits just split further like wine skins

Jesus had two instructions for us as Christians. The first is to have no other gods before him and to love one another and treat others as you want to be treated. We have lost this as the Christian faith. The god of the past and present day church is conformity and hierarchy. Certain people make me feel icky, so I don't want to be in fellowship with them. Certain people are more valuable than others. I doubt the Christian-hood of tolerate Christians. If you were different, how would you want to be treated in church? There was a time when my dark skin relegated me to the back pews, or a separate church building. There are still church communities where I am damned because I carry the curse of Ham. That isolation and degradation is still happening, only now the target is people who sexuality makes you feel uncomfortable. Jesus constantly rebuked the Pharisees of his time because they were more preoccupied with who paid what, who was doing what and the isolation of those outside of their community. He spoke to the Samarian woman, He saved the adulterous woman from the mob (he who is without sin, cast the first stone), He chose tax collectors and fishermen as his disciples, and he told the adults to let the children come to Him. He is a God of love and acceptance. The Christian church has lost this message. We are now the Pharisees who measure people's worth by our own yardsticks, not God's. Hierarchies are of the world. Man says that other man is not worthy. No one is 'not worthy' of Christian fellowship because of there origin, nationality, social constructed race, gender or sexuality. We are all God's children and equal in his eyes. I will follow Christ and accept everyone, as I would want to be accepted.

At what year did Jesus start the Church? At what year was the Church of England established? What existed in the intervening period?

Poor old Justin. Being bounced by people who care little for others - unless they have the same views as they do.

Three stool in the Espcopal Church

More reasons i`m glad i`m a atheist

Justin Welby should be sacked!!

I thought this video was really good. Just a few thoughts of my own. You said that there is one church, one Baptism, one faith" baptism.... The churchs faith is divided on Baptism. The the nature of Baptism in 4 ways. 1 Saving 2 infint& adult 3adult consenting believers only and 4 don't practice baptism at all. (Salvation army) Another thought on the History of "how the church has always interpreted the texts" I respect this but the Anglican church changed their mind on ordaining women only 30 years ago. Before this the interpretation was always men only in leadership. Officially changed their mind on this, unofficially the conversation continues with believers Anglican or not. What challenges my faith is the clarity

When a church departs from the teachings of the Word of God ( e.g.Ordination of women) it goes on to break up. Christ established one Church - The Roman Catholic Church.

It's a great pity that Gafcon do not have a TARDIS, and are trapped in the Bronze Age. Reading the Bible with the benefit of over 200 years of scholarship makes clear that as a total basis for life, it is sadly lacking. And how Jesus claimed His Lordship over sex beats me, and the Word of God is the Living Word interpreted by our hearts, not the dead word of ancient texts . Thanks be to God that he condemns literalness.

I'll be very honest and write the truth. As more and more people will get scientifically educated, they will leave fairytale business. The Church of England doesn't need to fear from homosexuals but pagans, other religions and yes have an absolute dread from SCIENCE. I was born an Anglican and come from a family of clergymen who held high offices and were bishops and moderators but we all known that we are not practicing Christians by heart. I was a normal Christian, then a hardcore atheist, then became agnostic and now I would call myself a 'Cultural Christian.' The church is boring except the music and half of the things in the Bible are senseless and won't stand against rational and critical thinking. People need spiritual guidance and peace within their lives which church services can't provide. There are Gurus and neo-religious leaders and pep talkers from all religions and non-religious which are working in that direction, making simple things understandable for dumb masses but the Church is terrible at that. Tell me of one Anglican clergyman who is capable of giving a decent TedTalk? UPon this the Anglican church has acted like the colonial Brits and followed the 'Policy of Appeasement.' They want to include everyone and want to make everyone happy at the cost of sacrificing their doctorines, principles and canons. No other religion does that. You will offend someone or the other by holding a firm position so have a clear position and be prepared to face criticism. The church is hardly interested in knowing the well being of their communities but more interested in celebrating Earth Day or some other shitty functions and begging for funds (they just never have enough and for the right purpose). People need a personal healing which requires addressing issues like toxic work culture, unemployement, teenage depression, family values, breaking of marriages and curing the anxieties of communities related to these issues. It also needs to accept the well established proven theories of science and incorporate it into its values. The church stands at a point where either it can become a master of donkeys by telling lies, promising false hope and being an acting theatre (which indeed it is) like the Roman Catholics or reach out to people and go forward as a comforting hand and teach the art of living a good life. Things will change for worse in the coming years as more and more people from younger generations will stop believing completely in God and religions. That is why, this is the time for preparing a fertile land on which we can sow the seeds of cultural Christianity which evolves rather than becoming static and dies down. Change is the law of nature and if we don't want paganism, other faiths and conservative atheism to annihilate and destroy our faith, we need to act now and become better than them with all the tools we have. We need to make people understand specially in the West that Christianity has shaped our democracy, our politics and has given us the freedom we have and it form the foundation of our politics and scoiety rather than just ignoring it as a personal faith. If our society becomes more and more atheist with time then eventually after being atheist it will be replaced with some other faith as society cannot remain culturally hollow for long and humans have an evolutionary need for worship. This might give a rise to havign a worse faith than we keep complaining about. So, Christianity is not just about having a God or faith, it is also a deterrent against the downfall of this civilization.

The Holy Catholic Church is the True Church.
