Welcome
Welcome to SPREAD. The Society is dedicated to the preservation and propagation of the reformed Christian faith as classically expressed in the Anglican Formularies, the Thirty-nine Articles, the 1662 Book of Common Prayer and the Ordinal.
Taking encouragement from the GAFCON movement's Jerusalem Statement and Declaration of June 2008, which reaffirmed the authoritative role of the historic formularies for Anglicanism today, SPREAD seeks to serve the radical realignment of the Anglican Communion which is now emerging
Events between the 1998 and 2008 Lambeth Conferences demonstrate decisively that the Communion's present "instruments of unity", including the See of Canterbury itself, are no longer fit for purpose when confronted with deep theological confusion in which evil is held out as good and good as evil. A merely institutional unity not firmly rooted in the revealed truths of God's Word written is not only counterfeit but also toxic, exposing the whole Communion to the false teaching and immorality absorbed by the Western Churches. SPREAD seeks to guard against this danger and to encourage the emergence of new Anglican structures able to support a coherent and confident proclamation of the gospel around the globe.
Please share with us in this historic task.

“Shadow Gospel: Rowan Williams and the Anglican Communion Crisis” by Charles Raven
This book is unique in the way that it gives a penetrating analysis of Dr Williams' theology and presents a substantial body of evidence to show that at the heart of Anglican difficulties lies a shadow gospel; a theological project which can speak the language of orthodox faith, yet subverts the supremacy of Scripture and the essential nature of Christian truth itself.
"This is an elegantly written theological thriller. Or, to be more accurate, it is a theological investigative report of the highest quality.." Read more
