    Brett, This is deeply sad on so many fronts. Sad that your local town will no longer hear the clear voice of truth. Sad that a small group within your church has not responded to the truth which you have lovingly
    preached over them. Sad for the CafE who will lose a sound and bold minister. Sad for your family who must leave the security of a paid ministerial job with all its benefits. As you boldly step out to live by faith, I pray that the Lord will cover you and will provide bread for your table and bread for your soul. May the God of hope, fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of th eHoly Spirit. (Romans 15:13)

When we first 'spoke', I explained that I was following your sermons whilst I was settling in to my new church - the Free Church of Scotland after leaving my lifelong church, the CofS. Well, you saw me through my transition period and the settling in period with new fellowship. In short, you gave me strength and held my shaking hand! You said it all when you said, "we know we can trust an unknown future to a known God". No truer words have been spoken, Bret. I'll continue to follow you and praying for both yourself and Cat. Stay strong, my friend, and know that your new path into new beginnings is the path that you'll continue walking along with Christ by your side. He, like you will be doing some serious 'hand holding' as you settle and find your feet. Please be as kind as to furnish us with your new 'home/church' address so as we may be able to send a little donation now and then. Many Blessings to your family from ours. God Bless.

      To be fair the CofE was started specifically to allow divorce which is against Jesus' teachings as per Matthew 19, so it was a problem from day one.
      As to this new evil. Homosexuals simply inflitrated the church as they infiltrate every organisation. Let's not forget the only reason homosexuality is no longer a mental illness is because homosexuals infiltrated the psychiatry profession and then lobbied for within for the self serving changes they wanted to see.
      It's ok though because homosexuality and every other form of hedonism that is being normalised now was normal for some time in the pre-Christian world and has popped up and been accepted every couple of hundred years, until society snaps back into place or "intolerance" towards this. If we don't snap back in the coming decade, these are a return the times of Noah as Jesus mentioned.
      Either outcome is ok by me. This either stops or the world stops. I'm good either way.

    Well done, you have obvious gifts and with a door opening the Lord is clearly leading you. Regrettably the Church of England is looked upon by many outsiders with disdain - a chap I know said of the C of E "It is a circus run by clowns." Whatever views folk hold I do believe it is a church under God's judgement. I am a retired C of E priest but I, like many others, no longer worship with the C of E. The blessing of the Lord be with you and your family.

      I too am a retired C of E priest, no longer worshipping with the C of E. You are absolutely right when you say " the Church of England is looked upon by many outsiders with disdain" and like me such disdain springs from all the arrogant, self-righteous, narcissistic, cruel, brainless and heartless claptrap generated by all those "Christians" like Brett Murphy and his loyal, fawning fan club. I personally encouraged him to leave - he will be so much happier on the other side - or, as he would say, the true side and the right side. I have strongly disagreed with his theology - I think it is nasty and wicked - but I wish him ans his family no harm and I sincerely hope that, as he would say to me, he will be led into the way of all truth. I very much doubt that his theology is correct but at least I have enough integrity and humility to acknowledge that his God of the Bible may be truer than I am prepared to go along with. Perhaps, as I have said to him and he has rejected, perhaps when he is much older he will also acknowledge that my God is at least as true as his God. Sad that he can't do that now. Sad that he idolises the written word rather than following the incarnate Word.

    Dear Brother Brett, Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. It is indeed sad that your community will not have you preaching God's powerful word, it is exciting to know you will be "plowing new fields" for God's Kingdom. I pray that God will continue to protect you and provide all that you and your family may need as you begin this new season in your ministry! Speaking from 30+ years in the mission field, my wife and I can testify that God will provide all your needs as you raise the Banner of Christ to a lost and dying world. And once again, I give you this invitation, if you ever decide to travel to Texas, we'd love to have you as our guest in Houston. May God's grace, mercy, and peace be with you my dear brother in Christ!

Even though our family has traditionally been nonconformist I know we belong to the world wide family of God. I have two sons and a daughter and I have felt an affection for you as I would a dear family member. I love the way you always say 'dear ones'. It's wonderful that God has provided for you and I do hope you will continue to share your Christian thoughts and messages with us. My heart goes out to you. God bless, keep and guide you (we know He is already doing that) - I'm sure you will be continue to be a blessing to the people around you. Please let us know how you are. 🙏🙏❤❤

    Yes, a shock, but understandable. I have long wondered how you remained so orthodox in the CofE. (I didn't know you had opposition in your parish.)

I will continue my prayers for you and your family, but you know well that God is and will remain faithful.

I feel sad because of how things could have been, we could have been part of the wonderful bride of Christ, loyal, obedient to Our Father's Word, instead we need to walk away from a church that has embraced the world and worldly values. It is encouraging to hear how you are being led, along with your precious family. May God bless you in abundance for your faithfulness to His Truth. In His love. Xp.

    Brett, like you, as you know, I've sadly had to leave the Church of England. Your videos over the last few months really helped me in that process. That's why I thought to offer you help with your videos. I've now found that leaving the C of E has released a lot of energy and desire to share the Good News of Jesus, and I have started doing that everyday if I can. I think being in the C of E had, sadly, blunted the evangelist within me. I pray for all those in the C of E and I now have forgiveness in my heart for all of those who have, consciously or otherwise, led and are leading the church astray IMO. Let us know where your new church/s will be and we can come and visit you, and worship and pray together. I have found a new independent evangelical church which is much more bible focussed. Early days there, and I know that nowhere is perfect. I pray for you and your family in the glorious name of Jeshua our redeemer and mighty saviour

    Brother Bret, I’m sorry to hear you have had to do this I know how hard it must have been for you to take this step. I no longer attend any church because they have all “Gone astray teaching for doctrine the commandments of men”. I have tried to find a good Bible believing (Sola Scriptural) church but to no avail. I was talking to the priest at the church I left and I said “What we are doing isn’t biblical” he replied “A lot of what we do in church isn’t biblical” and he couldn’t see there was a problem with that statement. Any I wish you and your family well and I will pray for your good success.

Do keep wearing your collar - as a sign of your commitment to faithful, Christian service.

Leaving a church that you know and love for Godly principles sake. It seems as though there's a small number of us that have done the same thing and it might be because the Lord is moving us out of these places because he is preparing to judge them. In any case, you will be in my prayers and be well.
