Churches that believe in the God revealed in the Bible, and in the Crucifixion and Resurrection of His Son, will continue to grow. It appears the Anglican Communion, as a whole, can't be numbered among the congregations that meet that description. As I've said before, it's not evident to me that the Archbishop of Canterbury believes in God at all!

It's ironic that the Anglican Communion as a whole is growing faster than they can supply ministers. It's only the English-speaking minority, CofE/Canada/TEC that is shrinking.

Good point. "As a whole" wasn't the right phrase for what I meant. Maybe "from the top" would be better, or "at its institutional apex." It's funny, with its being the Church of England, that the English or English-speaking part would be disappearing, while the Church survives among other ethnicities. Rather like a "Greek Orthodox Church" whose congregants were all Brazilian or French!
