[@stanleystone8636]

In addition to the above link a letter sent as a parishioner of Brett's to various people (or a variation thereof) Whenever we watch your KZbins you remind us of the frustrations Brett suffered. Whenever I look at Brett I understand why you don't take that leap of faith. The letter,: Upto about a year ago my wife and I have attended the Church of England. We stopped attending over a year ago as, in common with so many, believed that the CofE was not properly proclaiming the biblical word of God and becoming increasingly involved in "woke". Through his on line ministry we were introduced to Brett Murphy and decided to attend his church, Emmanuel, on a regular basis. This involves us in a round trio of almost 100 miles each time we attend. We watched your proceedings and felt that there was not a proper balance. Nobody had asked the congregation of Emmanuel though it was alluded to but with little conviction. We noted you had understandable difficulty in pronouncing "Morecambe". This indicated to us that you are probably know nothing of its location, history and social problems. It is important you are aware of these and the way they affect Emmanuel. Morecambe is a Victorian seaside resort which owed its then prosperity to tourism. This was true until about the sixties when cheap air travel made it possible for its traditional visitors to fly to the resorts of sunny Spain and its guaranteed weather. This spelt the decline of Morecambe, as with other such resorts, to what it is today, one of the most financially depressed areas in the UK. Emmanuel did not escape. It is a tumbledown church with its garden growing on the roof much to the detriment of the masonry. The east door can not be opened for fear it would cause the tower to collapse. This is what confronted Brett (and his wife) on his arrival early last year when he reopened the church, following Covid, with a congregation of two elderly people, the last of the previous Emmanuel congregation. Since that time he has built up the congregation to be larger than the congregation of the leafy church we left which has existed for well over 100 hundred years. Unlike any other church I know Emmanuels doors are not locked shut for six and a half days a week, open only for Sunday morning services. Its doors are open everyday. It provides a community cafe and shop which caters for those without hope. The first Sunday of each month there is a "parish lunch" to which all are invited. Several attend the lunch who do not attend the service but amazingly, because of the fellowship offered, start to come to church because they feel cared for and belong. It is an amazing thing to witness coming from a suburban parish. I could go on and talk about the young girl that had been stabbed that fell into church whilst we were having a reenactment of a passover supper (something we have never been to following 50 years church attendance) She became a regular member of the congregation and openly spoke of the love she received which she had not received anywhere before. The homeless he personally takes under his wing and helps to find new accommodation most of whom join the fellowship of the congregation. During all your deliberations the only words we recognised were "Brett Murphy". The way you said them were of an ordinary cleric which you would find in any parish. The way we heard them was of a devout Christian working tirelessly during each day (and night) administering the word of the Lord with such enthusiasm and purpose that causes the congregation to continue increase in size. One is reminded of the gospel story where the Pharasees were criticising Jesus for performing miracles on the Sabbath. Brett (and his wife) are quietly and without notoriety performing miracles in Morecambe. He seems to be receiving the same treatment. The future of the Church depends on people like Brett and his wife. Your lack of support will cause there to be no gospel believing churches for us or anybody else to attend, no matter the distance. The wishes of the congregation must be respected. End The support he gets from his congregation is beyond belief. Eric France MBE

Plus, when governing bodies amended and steered the word into new directions, they stood so firmly when taking on holy orders . Any vicar who thought of moving to Free Church of England will probably have to reconsider her/his options. In mean time CofE continue to make the word fit their worldview. Sad sad times for all. But we have the word and where that is, we still have hope. I pray for all involved and for heardened hearts in all camps.

[@mikecrees9715]

@@stuartskooler hard times indeed. The trouble is I'm a bit late to Anglicanism. I grew up with a Pentecostal pastor for a dad, where we often had to pray not thanking God for his provision, but in faith that he would provide, later on spent 10 years in the Vineyard where church planting was something you did while you did a job, and likewise 10 years church planting in New frontiers which was similar. Once your church grew to the size where you absolutely had to employ someone, you did. There were very few ready made parishes or churches to just walk in to. No stipends, pensions or houses with the job. Yet look around at the churches that are growing in the UK. I often wonder if the whole model is just wrong and based in a historical era that has passed. Maybe it's time to get back to these basics. Yes, the workman is worth his wage and all that, but you have to do the work first I think rather than expecting it on a plate.

[@stuartskooler]

Agree bud, similar to you I am new to faith, I love the word, read the bible and see Paul made tents to fund his ministry. Don't know much about planting. In UK we have many old churches that are empty it's like the estate and parish system bare no resemblance to the people who live within the boundaries. Most people work, we know and live in the world. Our pastors, Vicars, priests are our shephards, it's hard for them. But maybe that's part of their journey? Can't recall many of the church fathers having it easy. I pray that all involved can find peace. I love Father,Son and holy spirit, also bit fearful as well.

Since a bunch of teachings from the Bible are now illegal in the UK, can you expect any ecclesiastical body that wants to remain legal to follow canons and respect Biblical belief?

We are fortunate in the U.K. so far, as there is still a wide choice of churches to choose from, as God leads us. As I have grown up in my faith, I have found areas of my faith grow and develop. 30 years as C of E, 30 years Baptist, last 10 years Pentecostal. Not saying it’s the right way, but it’s been a good growing process for me. Go where the spirit leads, is all I can suggest.

@@expressoevangelism80 good thoughts . Not given up on Brett yet. He seems to be dragging me screaming and kicking in a direction I’ve been avoiding most of my life!!!

[@expressoevangelism80]

@@stanleystone8636 I’m not underestimating the power of God, as we walk in obedience to him. Just keep our minds set on Christ, and let the spirit guide us to glorify Him. No need to worry about revenge. He has the measure of all things. I would imagine that a fair few Anglicans would be happy to remain going to ‘church’ in preference to a community gathering, where anything could be established as a doctrine. As it is for now, we have over 30,000 verses of the Bible to work through and live out. These are interesting days of change, but God remains constant through it all. 🙏 Bless you.

The Free Church of England had a real opportunity to be an Anglican church faithful to the gospel. The English people are crying out for a traditional Anglican church which rejects woke nonsense.

[@GMN360]

Someone must be in a position to let the country know what is happening in the church. The Archbishop has abandoned the church and his flock. The church has fallen apart. We need pastoral guidance. There is none. Who can advise us of the truth of both the Church of England/Anglican and the Free Church of England.

[@laurasalinas2600]

Maybe it would be better to make the congregation independent. Move to a house church until a building can be sourced. A 'tent making' job to try and build some stability for the family. This is the type of pastor my dad was. God will provide, he really will. For both Rev Brett's family and for his congregation. I am praying.

Reverend Dan,it's a political dismissal

[@londonnodippydolly6635]

Reminds me of actress Noele Gordon, she helped get a new tv company off the ground, sat on the tv company's board of directors, and went to the USA to study daytime tv, a daily soap was created especially with her in mind in the soap's star role, the tv company she helped get off the ground produced the daily soap, and due to her and her character's popularity in the soap, the soap attracted a regular 15 plus million, then in 1981 they decided to sack her, after many years with the tv company, (plus 17 years in the soap), she recieved no explanation, just recieved a letter saying 'all good things come to an end'. I guess what i saying is the way Rev.Brett has been treated goes on everywhere, and has done for a while now.

Protestant church in England is failing. We're at a point in the UK now where all this silliness has to come to an end and we should not be worrying about offending people anymore and getting back to normality. If people dont like it, then they can move on. If you're going to be a Christian then you have to follow what the scripture say's. Not bend it to make it fit.

[@maximoo9861]

I am disgusted at whats happening to Rev Brett and his family. It seems all good men of God who speak Christ's truth are being persecuted in some way or other but when it is the church and so called men of God doing the persecuting it is doubly troubling. Jesus said though "know that if they hate me they will hate you also" to his followers. I have donated to Brett's appeal fund and continue to pray for him. God will always be with him and those who speak out against the evil in the world.

[@mpf1983]

It’s amazing that so many people here are jumping to conclusions without hearing why the FCE took the action it did.

Mate, I have been to that church, and also follow Brett on his KZbin. He might be blunt and speak his mind, which is controversial for some, but a much needed thing in a world of compromise. This will clearly ruffle a few feathers, but the church is alive in a landscape of managed decline, the preaching is bible based and, though to me rather traditional, my teenagers loved it. There is none who don't make the odd mistake or slip here and there, but dismissal is just crazy. There is clearly something going on here that is well beyond normal. Why would any bishop effectively kill one of the only healthy churches in his diocese? I suspect that now the church has been tidied up and repaired and made good it is more saleable.... And someone has to pay the bishops stipend...

[@paularrowsmith9980]

Also as someone now in his 70s, I can report that my parents didn't bring me up in the Christian faith either. But in my mid teens, my mum was invited to attend a gospel hall not far from our home. She soon strongly encouraged me to come too, but I was quite unwilling. Eventually I did, though, intending to tell mum after a month that I had given it a fair try, but that it wasn't for me. However, listening to the various visiting preachers, I started to recognise that the Bible-based gospel message of the wise & compassionate saviour Jesus who allowed himself to suffer crucifixion to bear the guilt of my selfish ways - in order to freely forgive, save and transform me - made absolute sense. (Apologies for that very long sentence!) That He physically arose alive from the grave, then repeatedly appeared to his followers and ascended home to heaven, one day to return in almighty power was genuinely compelling. (More apologies, that was rather long, too!) Since then, I have been very keen to share that new confidant Christian faith with anyone and everyone. This has led me to learn as much as I can about other faiths, ideologies and contrary beliefs, to see how they stack up against what I've learned from the Bible, science, human experience and current affairs. All in all, I remain fully confident that the Bible is indeed the unique and trustworthy Word of God, which can be thoroughly relied upon in all matters which it addresses. So I continue to encourage others to turn from selfish ways (sin) to put their trust in this same Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God who became human like us, coming into our world to make a way for us to be united with our loving Creator. We can't earn or merit God's forgiveness and His salvation, because Jesus already did that for us on the cross. But anyone who will can let go their pride and receive Jesus, trustingly by faith. Maybe today, you will be just such an "anybody". Or maybe you'll find a New Testament and start reading for yourself in one of the gospels, honestly asking God to show you what He wants you to see. Expect that you'll make quite a discovery! One that's wonderfully life-changing! You won't be the first, for sure! Meanwhile, I recognise that I need to work on shortening my sentences!!
