[Virtue Online] 9 Apr 2008--The Church of England (CofE) is shrinking even as its leaders argue over whether women priests should become bishops and if homosexual behavior is acceptable among its clergy.
Provisional numbers attending on any given Sunday during 2006, and also the latest edition of "Population Trends", a report from the UK's National Statistics Office, reveal that the CofE has been declining in Sunday attendance at least since 1970.
In his blog (Anselmic's Place) The Rev. Lee Proudlove, a CMS Mission Partner in CEBU, said that the figures are "worrying at least for the future of the Church of England."
