The Archbishop of Canterbury has discovered that there is "a certain integrity" to a church which is separate from the state: an opinion he apparently held while a bishop in the Church of Wales before clarifying (or, in Standard English, reversing) his position when he became a candidate for the top office in the Church of England. There are, however, conditions: "I think the motives that would

Interesting to see just how rotten from within the Church of England has become - a whitened sepulchre to borrow a phrase. "The Archbishop of York Dr John Sentamu has told the Church of England's synod meeting in London taxes would have to increase in order to help those worst affected by the recession. He said Britain had "worshipped at the temple of money" as if it were a God. Last year Dr ...

Dr Andrew Lilico has written a most interesting and learned piece for ConservativeHome, entitled 'How and Why the Church of England will split'. Cranmer has appended his own thoughts on the matter:Over the past decade, the morality of homosexuality has become obsessively an increasingly central issue in the Church of England. It is an evolving debate, the complexity of which is compounde...

Inspired by the Twurch of England post and stream by the Church Mouse, find below a sortable list of Bishops and Clergy of the Church of England who tweet. The table calls a live value from the Twitter site to show a completely up-to-date position of which Twurch of England members are the most followed. If

In that last post, I wondered how many cheeks Christianity could turn in response to the continued vilification of their religion in favour of more vociferous, violent and vicious creeds. I was thinking especially of the Church of England, that least intimidating of churches. Where others might use bombs and guns to preach their message, the most radical act a Church of England militant is likely ...

The two most senior figures in the Church of England have condemned the behaviour of City traders, and questioned their value to society. Fair enough - I feel the same about the Church of England. I also wonder how these clerics think that the share investments that their Church makes are made to work for them? Holy fools claims wholly without foundation. Plus ca change? 

Disestablishment of the Church of England would bring welcome advantages according to leading bishops.

Cranmer is sick and tired of this utter nonsense. It makes the Church of England look and sound even more ridiculous that it already does - if that were possible. In the creation of a cohesive society and for the pursuit of the common good, it is conceivable that one might entertain an apology to the descendent of slaves for the role the Church played in that trade, and even to attempt some sort o...

The churches, I mean - sponsors of numerous Scout Groups. And especially the Church of England and the Church in Wales, sponsors of numerous Scout Groups even in heavily Catholic and/or Nonconformist parts of the country. Evangelical, Anglo-Catholic or just old-school parishes and clergy, what chance have you of influencing the Sex Education curriculum at a county school, or even at a church secon...

Apparently, Telford is the most godless town in the UK.  Excellent!  Let’s keep it that way. So godless are my fellow Telfordonians that the Church of England has seen fit to send a missionary to tame the savages redeem us. According to the Church of England, Telford has the lowest per capita church attendance in the UK.
