Perhaps Peter's strategy for renewal can only be achieved if the Anglican hierarchy were to see the writing on the wall and begin employing missionaries in established Australian suburbs. Yes, alongside existing, declining Anglican churches! Good point Scott.

Yet as a person who has tried to do something innovative within the Anglican system I find it rather futile, not very realistic at all. Like poking the last remaining hot coals. For other movements I'd say this is realistic. As the statistics put it, the next line of Clergy for Anglicans are important yet I just don't think the seminaries are up to scratch. I doubt that they would agree with what Corney has written at all, even the Evangelical college! I actually wish that Corney was a little less anglican centric (Apart from Arrow) he has a lot to offer the broader church. This is an interesting article.
