One would expect this of Confessing Anglicans, so its encouraging to see that the official structures of the Church of England are stressing evangelism again - a major paper is due to be presented at next week's General Synod urging a change in culture to one of "Intentional Evangelism", specifically proclaiming the Good News of Jesus so that people are reconciled with God and become disciples of Christ. This is being led by the Archbishop of York and the Bishop of Sheffield among others.
