www.churchtimes.co.uk/articles/202... How after issuing such a statement can St Helen's Bishopsgate possibly now remain within the #CofE? IMO the logic compels its becoming an independent #schismatic ConEvo church, perhaps seeking association with REACH-SA and/or the Free Church of England.

Re: accusations of plagiarism in Jason Arday's PhD thesis: Liverpool John Moores University did not adopt the anti-plagiarism software Turnitin until 2015. Arday's degree was awarded that year, hence most likely his thesis was submitted and examined before its introduction. #Turnitin #Arday
