God is immutable, therefore anglicans DO NOT follow Christ as our female minister claimed.
God might be immutable, but change is a fact of life in the Church. It's part of the human condition.
Sure, some things don't change - the rule of faith as expressed in the Creeds would be a good example (although I can hear our Orthodox brethren making a point about the filioque even there) - but each generation has to work out being faithful Christians in their own social context, and to the best of their understanding of Scripture, Tradition and reason. That naturally looks different for you and for me than it did for people a thousand years ago.
That doesn't mean that all of those faithful Christians aren't each following Christ - and corporately, together, following Christ - as best they know how.
