  The Church of England's pick-and-mix approach to biblical truth only confirms my decision to leave

  I left the Church of England last year after 23 years as an ordained minister. Looking at how things are shaping up with the Living in Love and Faith process, I can't say I regret my move.

  What if the US street preacher arrested in Wimbledon had gone to court?

• Report into Lib Dems is a wider indictment of permissive society?

  Regrettably our society, since the advent of the permissive society in the 1960s, has been marked by a diminution of sexual restraint.

• Doesn't official Anglican teaching rule out an inter-faith coronation?

  Surely it is not being a 'swivel-eyed loon' to suggest that the coronation of the next Supreme Governor of the Church of England should be faithful to its stated beliefs about the supremacy and uniqueness of the Lord Jesus Christ.

• Will the new Archbishop of Canterbury stand up for the marginalised?

  Those of us who belong to the Church of England need an Archbishop who will set us an example of Christ-like concern for the truly marginalised in British society
