Anglican bankruptcy
Christian Century, Nov 1, 2005
ANGLICAN BANKRUPTCY? George Carey, former archbishop of Canterbury, caused a stir recently by saying that the church in Britain is in such serious decline that if it were a commercial enterprise, the church would have declared bankruptcy long ago. The Church of England has become "a club for the old, the resigned and those tired of life," he declared.
He lamented the fact that his efforts to renew the church in the 1990s weren't supported by clergy, and he warned that efforts by Archbishop Rowan Williams could face the same fate. Carey threw his support to Williams's Fresh Expressions initiative, which encourages alternative forms of worship. But he said that for the church in Britain to be renewed the focus would have to be "on mission from top to bottom" (Telegraph, October 12).
