  • New Anglican

    As a life long Christian/new Anglican, I found the variety and spirit of this podcast to be very helpful. From theological topics to church “news”, it’s been a welcome addition to my laundry-folding podcast line up. I appreciate the different perspectives from leaders coming from backgrounds in the Episcopal church to those coming more from the Baptist world, like my own family. Keep up the good work!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#309: For Further Discussion: More on Christian Nationalism with Dr. Miles Smith
Q: What has the PCA actually said about Christian nationalism in the new report?
The panel acknowledges ongoing debates, aims to address changes in Christian nationalism, expresses concern about race realism and intemperate speech, and emphasizes a cautious, pastoral approach without rushing a final stance.
#306: Good But Not Finished? A Title IV Conversation with Elijah Lovejoy
Q: What practical steps would you like to see before Provincial Assembly?
Advocating for keeping the reform momentum, proposing language borrowed from the Episcopal Church canon, and seeking deliberate, inclusive discussions rather than another lengthy round of reviews.
#306: Good But Not Finished? A Title IV Conversation with Elijah Lovejoy
Q: What are the main fairness issues you see with the current system?
The current system is imbalanced between complainants and respondents, with a narrower definition of who is a respondent and less protection or representation for respondents, which the new canons aim to address.
#306: Good But Not Finished? A Title IV Conversation with Elijah Lovejoy
Q: How did you get involved in this Title IV reform effort in the first place?
The guest describes a long-standing interest in church health and fairness, noting research into disciplinary practices across denominations and a drive to ensure processes are just for both laity and clergy, which led to involvement with guiding the reform discussion.
#297: From the Room Where it Happened: Bishop Julian Dobbs on G26
Q: What is the relationship between the Abuja affirmation and the traditional Canterbury structures?
The speakers argue that Canterbury structures have failed to uphold the inheritance of faith; Abuja affirms continuity with Anglican doctrine while moving away from Canterbury toward a global, confessional framework where the Jerusalem Declaration serves as a baseline.
