“And now look at what has happened to YOUR church.”
Hey, we’re aware of our problems, especially over the last 50 years.
But, seriously, is it your opinion that Christianity, in any form, has thrived in Britain in recent centuries compared to its first millennium? The C of E has been an obvious train wreck for a very long time
No, not every singe church or synagogue, but as a collective; some worse than others. And more recently, fallen father away from their original stated beliefs.
Sure, there have been times, long ago and not quite as THAT long ago, where both have strayed/fallen on hard time, but not really to the extent of WHERE they are today.
Okay, nit so much the Amish nor Mennonites, but even the younger generations, born into those groups, have fallen away somewhat.
But this is too damned far off this thread's topic to go any further into this, so just let it drop.
If you still want to debate this topic with me, though I really DO advise you against doing so, as you'll be sorry...I give long, in depth FACTUAL history lessons on topics I know a great deal about, then contact me via FRmail.
