I grew up in one of the Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches in Southampton, UK. It was a great church and I loved it. We had 45 minute sermons every Sunday morning and evening and they were the highlights of the week. I remember being astonished to find out that so many of my friends did not go to church and I felt disappointed for them.

When I went to university I discovered evangelical Anglicanism and was fascinated by its biblical liturgy and the seriousness of thought that lay behind it. I also came to respect the Anglo-Catholicism of the college chapel.

Through those experiences, and through my reading and reflection since then, I have become increasingly attracted to evangelical Anglicanism, and want to say why I recommend training for Christian leadership in this tradition, whether we are Conservative or Charismatic Evangelicals, or Anglo-Catholics.
