    I’m British - he regularly appeared on a wannabe Fox network “GB News” alongside a similarly “anti woke activist” Lawrence Fox (who is his own flavour of unseemly), was (is?) a spokesman for UKIP - the party which drove us to Brexit. I’ve taken an interest in him when I saw his dog collar and questioned his church membership, so I occasionally check in on him to piss myself off and generally increase my blood pressure.

    I also used to be a practicing Christian so I’m very into denominational splitting and infighting - he studied theology, didn’t get a job with the Church of English and was then ordained into the “Free Church of England”, where he became a bishop. He’s bounced around a few other denominations since; the Nordic Catholic Church, a Lutheran denomination, and now the Anglican Catholic Church.

    Him being blocked from entering the Anglican Church of England (the real actual one which is linked to the royals) was reported in fairly mainstream news here. It seems like the church was actually pretty tight lipped on their reasoning for him not taking a position with them, and he’s basically outed himself as too bigoted for the church by handing over to the press internal communication regarding him he secured through an effective FOI request.

    He’s an interesting chap.

      Seems what he did was join four different churches in succession according to his Wikipedia page. The last one people are now talking about (Anglican Catholic Church) was based in the US.
