The Pastor's Heart with Dominic Steele

It is difficult times in the Church of England.Having previously publicly betrayed his ordination and consecration vows - the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby - has now resigned over his handling of a safeguarding matter, following the release of the Makin report.The Church of England is tearing itself apart over sexuality.There are more apostate bishops than faithful bishops in the English House of Bishops.And there is now a massive group within the Church of England called The Alliance,  representing 42% of the denomination’s attendance,  basically pleading to the house of bishops to repent.William Taylor has served since 1998 as the senior pastor of St Helen’s London.
