Andrew Atherstone seems remarkably sympathetic to the rogue ordinations. Is it not essentially fraud for people who have:
* not been through an authorised selection process;
* not completed an authorised course of study and/or workplace experience; and
* not been ordained by an authorised person within the Church of England
to pass themselves off as Church of England clergy?
Surely there is a basic principle of truthfulness that is being flouted by these practices, that should be condemned by faithful members of the General Synod?
