The Church of England (CofE), also known as the Anglican Church, is a historic institution that has its roots in the 16th century when King Henry VIII sought to divorce his wife Catherine of Aragon but was denied annulment by the Pope. As a result, Henry broke away from the Roman Catholic Church and established the Church of England, with himself as its head, setting the stage for centuries of close ties between the Church and the British monarchy and state.
The Church of England’s evolution towards progressivism is a part of a larger historical trend in Western Christianity, where many Christian denominations have moved away from their conservative theological roots and towards a more progressive, liberal perspective. This shift has been influenced by a number of factors, including the Enlightenment, the rise of secularism, and the influence of progressive political movements.
As it turns out, the CofE has essentially embraced all forms of secular progressivism, allowing for various forms of homosexuality and the LGBTQ movement to become prominent and accepted lifestyles within Anglicanism. While the progressive trajectory of the CofE has been evident for a number of decades, its rank denial of Jesus Christ as the one true God is more recent. Recently, Justin Welby, the Archbishop of Canterbury, put out a video praising Hindus as “being the light that we need” and wishing everyone a Happy Diwali.
Diwali is a Hindu festival, also known as the Festival of Lights, that promotes anti-Christian spiritualism, pluralism, and the worship of false gods such as Lakshmi, Ganesha, and Krishna. Actual, regenerate Christians understand false religions—even those who perform acts of charity—are not beacons of light, but rather sinister, demonic works of Satan that advance the Kingdom of Darkness under the guise of “light.”
“And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light…” —2 Corinthians 11:14

It’s funny, but the Anglicans outside of England are basically in revolt against England. They’ve turned quite conservative, especially in the USA.
From one pagan to another.
England seems to have lost Christianity or is that just me?
About 150 years ago. Darwin was the nail in the coffin.
I’m Jewish, so I don’t follow it close enough.
But all of Europe seems to have become pagan or Muslim.
Not sure which is worse. Or if there is any difference.
Yes, and the original pagans which from which most modern pagan religions stem from, the Vatican. They are in the process of merging Islam and themselves as we speak. Good times. Revelation seems to be unfolding.
None of it matters as long as you believe in Jesus Christ the son of God who went to the cross and took the world’s sins upon himself that we may have everlasting life. The ultimate form of a showing of love.
AMEN
The Church of King Charles and the Royal Family.
Bully for you
I write 'Sodomy' with a capital 'S' because it's a proper noun. That is the name of the official religion of the ruling class.
It’s a state church. They don’t think calling the religion of a large part of the country, including the prime minister, “sinister and demonic” is good for society. Feel free to disagree, but you’re not going to change his mind.
They all have the “one true” religion, all 4,250 of them, each with their own holy book(s) and gods and some guy with a message.
Not sure what that means. Am I an angry infantry vet? Yes. Do I still love Jesus? Yes.
Good for you.
