Journeys into Darkness, A review of Journeys in Grace and Truth
by Martin Davie
Journeys in Grace and Truth, edited by Jayne Ozanne, is a collection of ten short chapters by members of the Church of England who are either Evangelical, or in the case of one contributor used to be, and who seek to argue that Evangelicals should re-examine their traditional opposition to homosexual relationships. The authors of these essays are Paul Bayes, Marcus Green, David Ison, Anthony Archer, Jody Stowell, Hayley Matthews, Gavin Collins, David Newman, David Runcorn and James Jones.
In addition to these chapters there is a Foreword by Colin Fletcher (another Evangelical), an appendix on the Open Table Fresh Expression in Liverpool, and a postscript by the Christian broadcaster Cindy Kent.
In this review I shall summarise and respond to each of the pieces in the collection in turn.
I have given this review the title ‘Journeys in Darkness’ because for reasons that I shall explain in the course of this review I think that the material in this collection represents a series of journeys away from the light and truth of Christ and into the darkness of error.
