Is the church in crisis? Well if you read todays press - Yes, big time. If you are an everyday member of the church then I think - No, would likely be your answer. So, four Bishops in the Anglican church are about to move over to Rome, well three actually as one is already retired. They are also reported to be taking large numbers of laity with them - the last time this happened and it has happened about ten years ago almost everyone came back within a year. It is very sad; but it is quite normal that when people disagree they choose act by either fighting the situation from where they are ie., inside.....or they decide to leave and 'never darken the doors again'
What we must do as members of the church is fight for their right to do whatever they wish and not condemn them for their actions. The church always grows when put under pressure so who knows they might be doing us a favour. God Bless them all in their decisions.
