Ouch

Mark Steyn puts the wood to my church:

I was reading a news item in the Guardian the other day. Didn't get very far. This was the first sentence: "The Church of England said yesterday that police counter-terrorism operations were directed disproportionately against Muslims and risked alienating them."
At that point, I fell off the chair, howling with laughter. Not because of the strikingly non-ecumenical character of the infanticidal thugs at Beslan, the bombers of the Australian embassy in Jakarta, the murderers of the 12 Nepalese workers, the terrorist suspects arrested in north London on Friday, or the beheaders of two American hostages and impending beheader of a third British one.
No, what's hilarious about the C of E's intervention is that it felt the need to make it.
Look forward to, say, 2020. Can anyone doubt that there'll be far more practising Muslims in Britain? And, by the same token, that there'll be far fewer practising Anglicans?
There will be more mosques, full of lively young men, and fewer C of E churches, with the surviving ones catering to a dwindling band of tribal Anglicans, enough to pepper a pew or two but too old and frail to man a full-service church.
I say "tribal Anglicans", because anybody in Britain who gives serious thought to the Christian message will be either a Catholic or evangelical Protestant.

My church is in a serious schism and has been for several years. Unfortunately it's because of homosexual issues which should not divide any theological body.
