This week has been full of news about the new Archbishop of Canterbury designate, Bishop Justin Welby of Durham. We are learning more about +Justin Welby every day. What we do know is that he was a lay pastor who received significant spiritual formation at Holy Trinity Brompton (HTB), home of ALPHA. When I was in full-time parish ministry, I led more than a few ALPHA courses, and found ALPHA to be a very effective way of bringing secular and irreligious people, as well as once-churched believers, into a living relationship with Jesus Christ. ALPHA's emphasis is on the essentials of the Christian faith - the unique and universal Lordship of Jesus Christ as the Son of God, the trustworthiness of the Bible, and the transforming power of the Holy Spirit, to name but a few. +Welby's experience at HTB can only be a good thing for the vast majority of Anglicans who stand firm and uncompromising on those essentials - especially those Anglicans within the Global Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans (FCA).
