A drive to Woburn through the Duke of Bedford’s deer park and back, for Dad’s 75th birthday dinner.

I also agree. Another great organisation to support and pray for is the Barnabas Fund. I have always thought that the last days will reflect the first days of the true church. Maranatha. Come Lord Jesus!

So lots of managerial level people from the World, just needing the Holy Spirit. Interesting isn't it, you would like to think our Church leaders were chosen from those with a infilling of the Holy Spirit and who shows the bent towards the role. This just shows what i have felt for a long time, but feared to express, that the Church is just an organisation like any other that manages back expectations and spots trouble makers, ie decent people among the congregation and leadership and quietly attempts to stifle them. I am glad I know that God is in control, but I believe he calls us to be his hands and feet. We need prayer and real revealing of his plans.

“Every organisation, no matter who it is, just follow the money.”
I’m assuming this quote is correctly attributed to ‘Robert B. Reich’?
Certainly, to have the CofE transparently open its books and for example, see the salaries of those making such radical decisions and changes I think could be an ‘eye opener’?
Interesting too, that the Church of England is also one of UK’s largest landowners (specific ranking debatable). Although, according to ‘a’ comment from the article below — it is the Queen [the Monarch] that owns all UK’s land? Freehold and Leasehold. If this is true, or being manoeuvred in some way in these times of the ‘Great Reset’ — then who is really pulling the CofE policy and purse strings? 🤔

The Church is abandoning its flock
The CofE's great leap forward will cull clergy and abandon parishioners

A church that traditional Anglicans now flock to from across Bedford Borough because its vicar still preaches from the Bible. If I recall right, two of the Cambridge Seven were sons of the manse from here.

The ladies of the parish made this patchwork quilt in 1995 and it won the county award.
Without this amount of love and attention to detail (whatever form that takes locally) for your village or neighbourhood, you’re unlikely to survive the coming years.

Archbishop Runcie on the place of Bible believers within the Church of England, 1989.
Dad recalls that it was during Runcie’s tenure at Lambeth Palace that the evangelical Anglicans made one of their occasional insincere threats to leave the communion with their funds, and Runcie called their bluff, saying “You can only do it once.”
(They nearly did, at Keele in 1967, but John Stott, a fellow Old Rugbeian, countermanded Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones’ counsel.)
