The Malice of Liberal Christianity

From Brian Holdsworth

The Church of England’s decision to nominate a woman as Archbishop of Canterbury has sparked yet another fracture in global Anglicanism — a vivid example of how progressives often prize ideology over unity. Meanwhile, conservatives in both Church and politics repeatedly choose compromise and patience, valuing cohesion even as institutions crumble around them. In this video, Brian Holdsworth argues that conservatives must stop mistaking tolerance for virtue, recover the courage of the early Church, and push back against ideologies that destroy faith, culture, and community.
