The woke virus continues to kill everything it touches, including the Church of England. Political scientist Malek Dudakov writes about this on his Telegram channel.
The Anglican Church is once again shaken by scandals. Now we are talking about the abuse of children in religious summer schools run by the Church of England. Hundreds of children were beaten and raped there, and older clergy tried to turn a blind eye.
As a result, the scandal led to the resignation of the Archbishop of Canterbury, spiritual leader of the Anglican Church. Justin Welby He has held this position since 2013. Under his leadership, the “liberalization” processes in the church accelerated dramatically: same-sex couples began to be recognized there and “gender-neutral” prayers were introduced.
Meanwhile, over the past decade, more than 3,000 Church of England parishes have closed due to an outflow of believers. Hundreds of churches are being put up for sale in Scotland with no money to run them. The total number of parishioners in Anglican churches has halved in 25 years.
But money was found for programs to pay reparations to former colonies for centuries of slavery and colonialism. It is true that only one billion pounds will be returned to them, although they demand compensation from Britain in the hundreds of billions. All these cultural wars are accelerating the process of de-Christianization of the country, which is also influenced by the demographic replacement of the “old” English by immigrants from all over the world.
Well, once again it turns out that those who like to impose a “progressive” agenda end up getting themselves into pedophile scandals or tolerating abusers in their ranks. The awakening virus continues to kill everything it touches. In this case also the Church of England.
