Too bad they didn’t follow the path of their southern neighbor. The ECUSA is kept afloat by their large real estate holdings in Manhattan and elsewhere.
Maybe this is a big clue why.
The Anglican Church of Canada just as The US Episcopal Church, the Church of England and other US mainline denominations are all in a freefall and aren’t interested in the reason for it.
They have turned their backs on Biblical teaching and endorsed a modern non-biblical way of life. Their focus has been on sexuality instead of evangelism. Instead of being the plumb line for society to judge behavior, they have become a promoter of evil ways.
Their member churches in Africa and some other parts of the world are growing because they resist the temptation to follow the world’s ways.
It is a shame for we need full churches; ones that follow Jesus.
Those buildings will make great mosques.
They forgot that when things that were once hot become cool it is because they are dead.
Hardly, considering the support of the novel social engineering seen today, plus ETsm etc. Yes, we are in a skeptical world, but not so much honest skepticism but a convenient one, which is usually concomitant with prosperity in materialism and education.
Which in themselves are blessings from God, but also a test, for just as a fully victorious person much be tested by afflictions and adversity, so he must be tested by affluence. Daniel had to endure the test of the king's food and culture as well as the den of lions.
The test of affluence is the greatest test in terms of the rate of final failure. In which test one must remember where he came from and is going to, and despite appearances and experiences, how desperately he still needs the Almighty. And order his life so that he must see God come thru.
It is this test Western Anglicanism has lost, going soft liberal which means you no longer believe and see your need for, and experience the reality of the providential and miraculous hand of God.
Thus while the Anglican church is going South in the modern West, in Africa it is growing: https://www.nytimes.com/1998/08/02/world/as-the-old-line-anglican-churches-wilt-those-in-africa-flower-profusely.html; https://religionunplugged.com/news/2019/7/1/a-more-diverse-conservative-anglicanism-is-growing
The people of Jericho were talking about the parting of the Red Sea forty years after the event took place. Still, except for Rahab, no one wanted to accept it. If God parted the Red Sea tomorrow, the next day people would be questioning it. Same if God raised someone from the dead. On and on it goes.
Why believe the Bible?
One cannot "prove" God opened the Red Sea just like you can't "prove" Washington crossed the Delaware. It is not a science experiment. It is a historical event and there were eye witnesses to both events.
Oh them wacky Canadians!
