Correct me if I’m wrong, but the only reason the Anglican church exists at all is because ol’ Henry couldn’t keep it in his pants.

Seems to me that they never shoulda left Rome, so this makes sense.

The Bishop sees the Anglican “Church” is well on its way to becoming an atheist social club and he wants no part of it.

No No No No. What will happen to golf and yacht racing on Sunday and the doctrinal infallibility of the Queen?

Some things are too precious to abandon on a whim.

**Rt Rev John Hind, the Bishop of Chichester**

Welcome home, Bishop Hind.

Sounds like he might be married since it talks about him being ordained as a priest.

I am reminded of the comedy show “Yes, Prime Minister”, in the episode ‘The Bishop’s Gambit’, in which a new Church of England bishop needs to be appointed by the government.

Sir Humphrey explains that the Church is always seeking to maintain the balance of bishops between those who believe in God and those who do not.

Sir Humphrey Appleby: The Queen is inseparable from the Church of England.
Jim Hacker: And what about God?
Sir Humphrey Appleby: I think he is what is called an optional extra.

My father and I are discussing this right now. One thing to watch for: a meeting between the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Queen. Now, consider this: if the Pope offers the Archbishop not just re-ordination as a Cardinal, but as Patriarch of an Anglican sect?
