[Times Online] 12 July 2009--The Church of England is considering cuts in the number of bishops and dioceses amid growing complaints that its structure is top-heavy and out of step with falling congregations.
At least one diocese, possibly Bradford, is likely to disappear as the Archbishops of Canterbury and York examine ways of reorganising the 44 dioceses and their diocesan bishops to help the Church of England to weather difficult times.
Probably a good move, but does it matter? 5% of Brits are found in church each Sunday. I don't look for English Reformers with Law and Gospel--and applications to modernity--to arise in their midst.
