Vince Green Posted August 18 Report Share Posted August 18 (edited) The Church of England is probably the most asset rich 'charity' in the country. It's always been a business Other than that the stipend has given a good living to thousands of vicars for very little back in return. A cushy number, free housing and a salary. Only downside is having to work Sundays The vicar who officiated at my uncles funeral in January at the crematorium charged £180 for a bland service that read out the details about my uncle that we provided him with in a monotone.

PeterHenry Posted August 18 Report Share Posted August 18 (edited) So what's it going to be called? The 'of England'? I'm not entirely sure I believe this. Edited August 18 by PeterHenry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, I think they are going to struggle to move away from something so entrenched in the mind. They are not going to stop calling themselves the Church of England, and neither are their congregations - it seems to be basically an administrative change with regards to the names of new 'churches'. Still, I can't say that I agree with it - but hey ho, I've never visited a post WW2 church that seemed worthy of the name anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Churches are in decline because congregations are in decline. Our populace generally doesn’t attend or support church in the way that mosques are supported.people want them for birth marriage and death and that is all.

I have suggested they go back to being cold(er) and chuch goers wearing coats again, but last time I checked they haden't taken me up on the idea and send begging letters out instead. However, they have some excellent initiatives to help some of the less well off families locally - a free play group for children and a free meal / dinner club. I've got to say that where I live would be worse off without them - even if the services are a little thinly attended these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of the reason for that is because churches used to be the social hub of the community running scouts, play groups, amateur dramatics, jumble sales etc when there wasn't any competition from TV, Internet, games consoles etc for people's attention . Pubs suffer the same thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
