A church with no God might as well be empty anyway.
Then let it die
Is the Church of England even religiously relevant? What would be the point of a Christian going there? One certainly isn’t going to learn anything about Christianity.
People don’t go to Church to hear the same stuff they get on tv
Add some nature worship and fertility rites to put caligula to shame, that’ll bring ‘em in.
They should change their name to to Episcopalians

The Anglican Church was founded by a king with a deep carnal appetite, so what do they have? nothing to do with the preaching of Christ
The legal system wouldn’t exist without people breaking the law, so why make anything illegal?
Roman church as well.
If church choirs etc were not staffed by "gay" men then other would come forward to fill their place. How many Hetro men want to work in a predominantly homosexual environment. The Anglican church, as it has done for many decades, actively drives normal Christians away.
Nonsense. The CoE is moribund and on its last legs in its present form. Becoming more gay friendly won’t change the trajectory into oblivion. May even hasten its demise. Soon the church will be a chain of empty buildings, festooned with forlorn rainbow banners, sustained by the Crown’s penchant for funding lost causes.
Because endorsing sin while pretending to profess salvation is worse than no church at all.
Sort of the same reason you want to get rid of a flesh-eating bacteria...even though it’s a living thing?
Make no mistake. This young woman and her editor are completely against any Christian religion or church. They see it only to be allowed as a gutted thing functioning only for social good as defined by THEIR religion — socialism. The Church of England is convenient but they will attack any other as the need and opportunity arises.
We can snicker at the hypocrisy and think ourselves better but that is just what the author intends.
Pray for the parishioners.
To me, this is just an admission of “we’re a business, not a religion”. If you don’t stand for Christ and his principles then you’re just a virtue signaling beggar.
One of Flannery O’Connor’s fictional characters tried to start the “Holy Church of Christ without Christ.” But there was no need, that’s what the Church of England is for.
The catho,oc church, and other denominations that refuse to,preachmthe word of God as written, are keeping homosexuals blind and ,iving in sin, and u willing to repent and be saved because they think that because the church accepts them AND their lifestyle, th3n God must too, hence no need to repent. The church that wont condemn sin because thye were too worried about their church numbers, is leading people to hell by not confronting sin. THeir congregation co gregati9n as a result remains ignorant of the gospels.
