The Primus of the Scottish Episcopal Church, the Most Rev Dr Idris Jones, will join Archbishop Carlos Touché-Porter of Mexico as a patron of Inclusive Church, a UK based organization that advocates for “a liberal, open church which is inclusive of all,” regardless of race, gender or sexuality.
“It is a privilege to be associated with Inclusive Church. The Anglican Communion is seeking how it may develop and deepen its life today - what better way could there be than working to keep our church as welcoming and encouraging to everyone who wants to follow Jesus so that everyone of us can be challenged by God’s love,” said Bishop Idris, who also serves as Bishop of Glasgow and Galloway.
Inclusive Church also announced that Touché-Porter will be visiting England in September to partake in two major conferences that will promote the diversity of Anglicanism and underscore the need for a worldwide Anglican Communion that upholds plurality and inclusiveness.
