"Sign of the times. This is not a Church that has any interest in providing an authentic Christian witness to the post-Christian culture. It is only negotiating the terms of its own swift demise," he added.
Dreher further asserted that the CofE is dying, and that its ecclesial body is "so desperate to cling to power that's slipping through its hands" that it is "making a deal with the world," but argued that such an ecclesial body will not survive.
