All the evidence from the US, and indeed England, is that churches that embrace wholeheartedly the liberal agenda fall into inexorable decline. Sometimes even pretty rapid decline.
That isn't meant to be a judgemental statement on liberalism. From a secular perspective, and just for the record, I myself endorse gay rights, women's rights and the rest.
But the facts speak for themselves. Liberalism in the Anglican Communion is proving to be a recipe for decline. If that's what the liberals want, then fine.
a clergyman may be apparently as useless as a cat, but he is also as fascinating, for there must be some strange reason for his existence (GK Chesterton): one retired Anglican septuagenarian clergyman's THOUghts, discOverings, readings, scribbLes, wOndeRings and dooDles exploring that strange reason
