acknowledged communities

jonny baker has blogged about CMS becoming an 'acknowledged community' of the Church of England. Sounds a good idea in terms of marrying a pioneering missional agency with a traditional structure. Maybe us Baptists could learn something here? It always struck as ironic that in the early days of charismatic renewal the Anglicans managed to find a synergy between spontaneity and freedom whereas so-called 'free' churches, like ourselves struggled to cope with change.
