Shocking that the laity was more sensible. The bishops have obviously all become revisionists, although some of them are “Evangelical” but I’m not sure what they means in the C of E. The probably believe in the resurrection of Christ and the Trinity, etc., but not in tradition, I’m guessing.

Bishops in the Church of England are not required to believe in God. Their appointment (by the Prime Minister of England in recommendation to the Queen, as she is is head of the Anglic Church) is a social or political appointment and not a religious one.
