Alan Green Thinking Quotations

That level of expectation that I'm going to be conservative is really disappointing, but it is how many people think about clergy and the church

I'd signed up not just for Christianity but the established Church of England. That has a particular history and I think we rather lost it in the 19th Century, we became so much part of empire and colonialism, the language of the Church Of England still reflects that Victorian time. As the 20th Century developed, not surprisingly people left the church and I can see the church's role in losing people.

I think what we're really bad at doing is recognising that it is possible to have lost of different views within the church.
