I haven’t met Todd Hunter yet. But I’ve heard great things about his days as a church planter with the Vineyard movement. Todd has a new venture, planting Anglican churches in the US.

Church of England in ruins
24 April, 2008 – 4:38 AM
The estimated cost of repairing all England’s 14,500 listed places of worship is almost £1,000,000,000 over the next decade – and that doesn’t include thousands more unlisted ecclesiastical buildings. The bill is almost three times what the parishes, by the most optimistic calculation, could possibly raise. The statutory charity, the Churches Conservation Trust, will be [...]
The future of the Anglican church is black
14 April, 2008 – 11:09 AM
What does the future of the Anglican church look like? According to this report it’s black. Very black. While the English Anglicans have been closing churches at a frightening rate, the Nigerians have been planting them. At a recent meeting let by Archbishop Peter Akinola, they created 18 new dioceses and elected 20 new bishops [...]
What should the Anglicans do?
28 February, 2008 – 6:42 PM
It is no exaggeration to say that the global Anglican church of is at a crossroads facing its greatest crisis since the Reformation. It’s been there at least since the 1998 Lambeth Conference when the vast majority of Anglican bishops worldwide rejected “homosexual practice as incompatible with Scripture.†Despite this the Episcopal church in the [...]
Rowan Williams and the trouble with the Anglican church
27 February, 2008 – 4:11 AM
Recently the 104th Anglican archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, provoked outrage suggesting that the adoption of elements of Islamic sharia law in Britain was “unavoidable” if social cohesion was to be fostered in Britain. He called the principle of one law for everybody “a bit of a danger”. Unfortunately for the Anglican church, this was [...]
Why have the Presbyterians stopped breeding?
13 February, 2008 – 7:35 AM
Now days it’s hard to find a breeding pair of Presbyterians. That memorable quote comes from Professor Gary Bouma of Monash University. He was commenting on the 2006 Australian census figures on religious adherence. You can say the same thing about the breeding patterns of the Uniting Church and much of the Anglican church outside [...]
10 Questions for Steve Jones
20 March, 2007 – 7:26 AM
I met Steve Jones at the St Marys refresh conference and soon discovered he was a good candidate for 10 Questions. He’s planting a church out of one of the St Mary’s church plants. That makes St Mary’s a grandparent and Holy Trinity Brompton a great grandparent. 1. Tell me about your church plant? I’m [...]
Why Pentecostals and Adventist tithe and the mainline don’t
28 September, 2006 – 1:23 AM
Australian church-goers give about twice as much to charity as non-believers, with people aged 25 to 44 the most generous, according to research on donations in Australia. But they are more likely to support specific programs such as aid projects than simply to put money in a collection, which is why many individual churches are [...]
St Mary’s London: How do they do it?
21 September, 2006 – 7:35 PM
Took in a service at St Mary’s in London’s west end this week. They’re gearing up for a launch of their Life Course, an Alpha Course equivalent. The guy leading the service gets up and says, “Hey there must be hundreds of you out there who have come to know Christ through the course.” I [...]
Why nobody likes Sydney Anglicans
9 June, 2006 – 9:34 PM
One of the great things about being a Collingwood supporter is that the rest of Australia hates us. One of the great things about being a Mac user is that the rest of the world is PC. The same with movements. No one else likes them. Not even other Christians. Until they settle down and [...]
