Abstract

"Timothy Yates write in Anvil's first issue this year that he thought Anglican Evangelicals werelegistering a 'sharp change' in their support of the establishment of the Church of England, and the editor put it even more sharply in the abtract at the head of the article: 'For many Evangelicals, the arguments for disestablishing the Church of England appear to be a compelling, open-and-shut case .. .' I write to say that I see little evidence of these bold assertions {would that I could); but that the case is very strong, and is not really addressed in Timothy Yates' article.
