*******************************************************************

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.

In this episode you will learn

The main influences in his spiritual life and the incident that triggered his conversion
His thoughts on the Alpha Program
Why he didn’t join the Anglican Ordinariate, erected by Pope Benedict XVI
How nationalism, hyper-intellectualism, and collective pride have co-opted the Protestant world
Why he stayed outside the Church for so long while understanding her better than many Catholics
The strange rage from friends and family that so often gets unleashed at Catholic converts
Ashenden’s plans for the future
