"they don't go somewhere else, they just don't go, and reject what they know of the teachings of the CofE church, even though that wasn't the teachings that they left. A lot of people moved to Catholicism, or different protestant denominations. Others just stop going and put Christian on their census form, even though they just do weddings and funerals."And if they do, so what? If you are inclined to be more fervent, rather than less, that's your privilege. Nobody is stopping you. "The CofE leaders supported it, even though it had the possibility of making it illegal to publically state the 39 articles and say that they were true." I see nothing wrong with the Church saying they are true - but I don't want the State saying so, because the State represents everyone - not just Church of England. I america the Constitution guarantees that any church, synagogue, temple, mosque, etc can publish what it likes and say that it's true. Wonderful! But the State does not, and that's critical to democracy. |
