From the Revd Graham Sykes
Sir, - I read with interest the report on the GAFCON conference
(News, 1
November), and particularly the assertions of Mr Perkin and Dr
Ovey. Would it be possible to publish the academic sources for
their claims? My experience is that the vast majority of the
clergy, as one would expect, are orthodox in terms of their belief
in the Trinity, atonement, repentance, and grace.
I would hope that the assertions made about our clergy are based
on peer-assessed academic research, and not simply cheap
headline-grabbers without substance in reality.
