Legitimacy of petition against bishop questioned

Dispute in Anglican church continues

Don’t play out your dispute in public.

That’s the message from a church head in the Island after the on-line row in the Anglican Church gathered pace.

Around 200 people have so far signed an on-line petition calling on the Lord Bishop and his Archdeacon to step down, amid suggestions of bullying.

The validity of the petition has now come into question after it emerged some names were put on fraudulently.

Jonathan Stanfield, lead pastor at the Living Hope Community Church, says it's not the way to settle any disagreement.
