The Middle of the Church

Three quarters of Church of England priests say Britain can no longer be described as a Christian country, according to a poll. I suppose it depends on what is meant by Christian. I dare say there are many who live what could be considered Christian lives who are not members of any church.


I have a sure-fire idea to swell church attendance numbers - the CoE should align itself with a tool manufacturer and introduce an aisle down the middle of churches where cut-price tools could be sold, but only upon attendance at a Sunday service. They could be branded as Churchside Tools.

Hammers and nails, along with baulks of wood could be a good seller and be compatible with the theme. However, to bring the Church into the modern era, perhaps a nail gun and MDF would be better.

A lot of so-called Christians are complaining that the CoE is too woke; however, isn't the whole point of Christianity, not to mention the teachings of Jesus, to be alert to prejudice and discrimination? It seems not, for a certain, small cohort.

I suppose, so long as they're happy in their prejudices, we should leave them alone to get on with a spot of witch burning.
