Episode Synopsis

Send us a textThis is a sermon from a Protestant minister who, though not Anglican, addresses the recent election of the new Archbishop of Canterbury. The minister expresses strong theological objections to the appointment, arguing that the selection of a woman, Bishop Sarah Mullally, violates the divine order for church leadership as established in Scripture, citing passages requiring bishops to be men. Furthermore, the minister raises serious doctrinal concerns regarding the Archbishop-elect’s perceived support for same-sex blessings and Eucharistic Adoration, which the minister views as a departure from the core tenets of the Reformation and the authority of the English Bible. The sermon ultimately issues a plea to all Protestants and the Church of England to prioritise obedience to God’s Word over worldly approval, warning that failing to adhere to scriptural authority will lead to the church's spiritual decline.Welcome to Know Surrender—a podcast about learning what it truly means to surrender to Jesus Christ.
