They need to stop driving people away and be more accepting and inclusive. Yeah, that’s the ticket!

I don’t know, and I will admit this from experience, but I left because I resigned from church, and the same is true for a lot of people who felt that it wasn’t what they wanted to be. But as I came to learn, following God is a challenge, not a given.

I grew up Episcopalian (Church of England). It was really a beautiful church. Time passed and eventually so did my mom and her funeral was at that same church. I went to the Sunday service the day before her funeral for the first time (in that church) after being gone from the area for thirty years. At the Sunday service I was met by a homosexual couple who were the ushers. They made sure to let me know they were homosexuals. Besides me, there were TWO other people at that service in a church that could easily accommodate 600 parishioners. I never looked back.

Let them die, that church is completely apostate.

The Church of England is not “a generation away” from extinction.

The institution has become a rotting corpse and a mere shell of its former self, which, zombie-like, continues to shamble on, unthinkingly and without any real motivation.

Unable to muster even a small resistance to the inroads made by the Islamic invasion of their homeland, persons in search of SOME kind of religious guidance are, by default, being literally grabbed up and turned into Muslims, even those of old ethnic roots going back millennia in the soil of the British Isles.

Better they should have turned to Druidism.
