Richard Chartres, Bishop of London, has said that the Church must be ‘vision-led, not problem-led’ in the post-denominational phase we are now entering, seeking street-level co-operation between the Anglican Church and the wider Church body. The key to growth, according to Chartres, is ‘refusing to see the many divisions in Church life, between High Church and Low Church, between Catholic and Protestant tradition. There is only one division that truly matters, and that is the division between dead church and live church. That can embrace almost any expression of Christian faith.’ Strong ecclesial identity is now history, according to Chartres. Rather, we are in a post-denominational phase. ‘Very few of the hundreds of thousands of students studying in London arrived with any clear ecclesial identity. They are looking for churches and congregations of varied and contrasting styles that are living and not dead,’ he said.
