His official title was Honorary Chaplain to the Queen (QHC), kind of a big deal for any Anglican clergyman. Then Rt. Rev Gavin Ashenden held the position from 2008 until 2017, when he left following, inter alia, a public liturgical reading in a Glasgow cathedral from the Quran that denied the divinity of Christ.
A good Protestant, he protested. And then he parted ways with the established church.
The rest of the story is told in this interview with England’s highest-profile Catholic convert, received into the Catholic Church in December 2019.
