They are quite strong in the C of E - perhaps reflected that there are six  
Evangelical C of E training colleges
 
Wycliffe, Oxford, 
Ridley, Cambridge
St John's Nottingham
Cranmer Hall, Durham
Trinity Bristol and 
Oak Hill
 
There are three Liberal training colleges
 
Westcott House Cambridge
Queen College in Birmingham and
Ripon College Cuddesdon
 
And two Anglo Catholic training colleges
 
Mirfield and
St Stephen's House in Oxford
 
It is reckoned that about 60% parish priest are evangelical in the C of E - 
 though I can't give you cahper and verse for this.
 
Evangelical and Charismatic churches are quite strong in the C of E -

It is estimated that 40% of attendees at C of E churches go to an  
evangelical church see

<"No  definitive statistics exist on conservative evangelicals in the 
Church of  England because official church forms do not exist about such things; 
however,  Church statistician Peter Brierley says that 40% of Church of 
England attendees  currently go to evangelical churches - up from 26% in  1989.">

Martin -

I  was interested in your identifying yourself as an  "Evangelical"
Anglican.

As a group, "Evangelicals" at least in the  British sense, are a  trifle
exotic for USA Episcopalians, because  this element, or at least the
extreme portion of that element left TEC in  the nineteenth century
over what was their horror over "creeping  catholicism" 
from the new (then) Oxford Movement, and what was regarded  as
over-cosiness of the Evangelicals and Reformed Christians from
the  Anglocatholic side.

So, TEC doesn't have the extreme low church  Evangelicals.  They
are simply to be found in the Reformed Episcopal  Church.

Just to set the matter straight, I am curious to how you view  the
situation in the Anglican Diocese of Sydney  (Australia).
