Over at Learning in the Grip of Grace, Hans Kristensen has a post on Why I'm Not an Anglican. He is an ex-Anglican who clearly favors a baptist independent church set up. He raises three arguments against the Anglican way. I have somecomments to make in reply.
1. Evangelical Anglicans are compromised because of their affiliations
I thought that was an odd criticism. For a start, 80% of the World Anglican Communion is pretty much orthodox and evangelical. It is only a dying and residual portion in the west that are liberal. On top of that, if the church is an ecclesia mixta (mixed church of true and false believers - read Hebrews 6 if you don't believe me), then you will always have to contend with false teaching and false brothers in the church.
