'I do think, you know, that this means we must be very wary about embracing a Catholic understanding of the Church. There is enormous temptation for evangelicals to embace an Anglo-Catholic understanding of the Church, its nature and its ministry. And I think we need to be very careful indeed that we do not betray - you have been debating the historical nature of Anglicanism, my book on the subject comes out in March, by the way; and we need to be very careful indeed that we do not betray our evangelical identity by embracing an understanding of the Church that is not historic Anglicanism. When Robert Runcie said, "Evangelicals don't have an ecclesiology," what he meant was, "I don't like the ecclesiology that evangelicals have." We do not need to apologise for our understanding of the Church: we are simply to faithfully expound it. So that's my point on evangelical identity.'
-Dr Richard Turnbull of Wycliffe Hall, Oxford, October 2006
