Panel on Loyalty
The establishment of the Church of England is a fact we inherit from our history. This inheritance has constitutional and missional significance. But should we maintain a loyalty to this element of the Church of England's inheritance of faith? How should we evaluate what we have inherited from the past? What difficulties and opportunities surround the Church's participation in public life? These are some of the questions we will consider in the first session as we discuss what kind of public legitimacy the Church of England has, what kind of loyalty it should elicit and what future public role the Church of England should pursue.
