A group of chaplains with histories in the ACNA’s chaplaincy jurisdiction claim that Ray Sutton’s appointment has “further aggravated” the church’s “crisis of credibility” in handling clergy misconduct.
In an atmosphere of attempting turnaround, novel pedagogy, and outreach into the Anglican Communion, Cranmer House was founded as a new REC seminary—with substantial help from conservative Episcopalians.
Sutton’s decision came one day after Archbishop Steve Wood of the Anglican Church in North America issued a letter questioning the wisdom of Sutton’s granting the license.
