Evangelical members of SSWSH

I would be interested to hear from any English Anglican Evangelicals (ie not Anglo-Catholics - no offence!) who have signed up to the Missionary Society of Saint Wilfrid and Saint Hilda.

I already have and know of two others, but there may well be more.

Please e-mail me via the link at the bottom of the left column.

SS Wilfrid and Hilda 111, St Augustine 0

Yesterday’s press release from Reform regarding the new ‘mission society’ of St Augustine contained a telling line. According to chairman Rod Thomas, there is

“a lot of detail to be worked out” as to the exact way such a society would operate, but ... within 6-12 months the framework could be clear.

So that would be some time between April and October 2011, then.

Meanwhile, there is already an up-and-running Facebook group for the Society of St Wilfrid and St Hilda which has 111 members — even though I doubt that the typical recruit for the Society proper is exactly your Facebook type.

So what is it, I find myself asking, that the St Augustine Society needs to work out that SSWSH doesn’t?
