Bishop Johnathan preached at the wonderful Society Mass for the unity of the church. Bishop Mark gave a very encouraging address about The Society followed by a renewal of commitment to the Gospel.
It was an encouraging day with a vision of how we as catholic anglicans can find a place in the Church of England.

From The Right Revd R David Farrer
As a former Diocesan Bishop in Australia where I fought to achieve the sorts of ends to which The Society is committed, it has always been my view that it is possible for adult Christians with strongly differing views to live together in mutual respect. There are those who deny this possibility and firmly
hold the position that their view must prevail. My reading of the New Testament leaves me with the understanding that living and working together in mutual respect and affection despite our differences better suits the life and teaching of Jesus than a winner takes all approach (Luke 9:54 ).
I therefore commend the establishment of The Society and look forward to its contribution to
the life of our Diocese.
