Outraged and disappointed that their voices have not been heard by the liberal Bishop of the Diocese of Southwark, The Rt. Rev. Christopher Chessun, Evangelical and Anglo-Catholic leaders of large influential parishes in that diocese have set up a trust to divert monies that could lead, they hope, to a widespread renewal within the diocese.
They complain that the Bishop of Southwark has appointed liberals to the last seven senior vacancies in the diocese, including the Cathedral Dean and Bishop's Chaplain.
The group also fear the effects that this imbalance will cause in terms of homosexuality as the diocese is working more and more with those who seek to alter the church's traditional stance on the issue. Reform member Jonathan Fletcher said he was distraught for the Church of England.
However a source told VOL that if orthodox Anglicans start to use the Trust effectively, it will shake the pillars of the unconverted Establishment and could lead to a wholesale revolt against the increasingly permissive Church of England and establishment.
