although one-third of all the denomination’s priests say they will not...

I hope and pray that the status of the other two-thirds is: evaluating, prior to stating they will not either. Anything else is slouching, as it were, as Robert Bork puts it.

One of the problems with an Established church is that it is at some level beholden to do what the government instructs. The “separation of church and state” (that pesky phrase folks who have never read the Constitution erroneously believe is in there) was meant to protect the free exercise of individual human conscience, NOT to take the Almighty (however one defines Him) out of the public square or chambers of government.
