Testimonials

The Most Reverend
Dr Phillip Aspinall AC

Former Archbishop
of Brisbane

"Comprehensive Anglicanism values the diverse theological and spiritual threads that have been woven together over the centuries to make the rich tapestry that is Anglicanism. Recognising that at points these diverse strands are in tension, even conflict, with each other, a comprehensive approach intentionally lives with differences, valuing all perspectives, even those with which we personally disagree. Undergirding comprehensiveness is a spiritual outlook founded in humility and openness.

We see others as gifts from God contributing to our own journey into truth in Christ. Even, perhaps especially, when we differ, staying in relationship, honouring each other as brothers and sisters in Christ, and learning from each other as together we grow into Christ, is how unity in diversity and truth go hand-in-hand on this journey."

Testimonials

The Most Reverend
Dr Kay Goldsworthy AO

Archbishop of Perth

"Now more than ever the Anglican Church in Australia needs an organisation such as NCAN to bring together and unite the rich diversity of Anglicanism in this country. We need to learn respect for each other across differences of opinion. And we need to value the different gifts given us by the Holy Spirit to build up the body of Christ and strengthen us for our mission in the world."
