Anglican Communion

edit

The article had been written in a way to imply that Lawrence's diocese is a part of the Anglican Communion. It unequivocably is not, despite what some of the Global South bishops have stated. This is an easily determinable fact, not a matter of opinion. I have re-written the opening paragraph to make this clearer, but I don't think it's a very good paragraph. I would welcome a re-writing by someone, and I would be OK leaving out the Anglican Communion stuff altogether, since it's not directly related to Mark Lawrence himself. What I strenuously object to is anything that seems to suggest to readers that the diocese Lawrence leads is still part of the Anglican Communion. They might want it to be, but it is not.

Personal Life Section Needs Cleanup

edit

The section describing Lawrence's family relationships is confusing and wordy. There should be listing of his wife, his children, and perhaps his grandchildren. Attempting to provide information about his children's "church plantings" or other activities is not appropriate in an article about Lawrence. If the activities of the children are significant, the children should have their own pages.John Paul Parks (talk) 23:44, 16 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

I'll disagree somewhat - if some of his children are in the same profession he is, I think that adds useful information, even if they are not notable enough for their own articles. However, there are no citations for anything in this section, which is a problem. Are there sources for the information on his children? Dunncon13 (talk) 18:38, 3 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
