I say these things, not because I am any better than anyone else - churchgoer or not - but because I want to set in context where I stand over the mess that the C. of E. has got itself into in the last twenty or thirty years.
Those of us, committed church people, who have given any serious thought to the direction in which the C. of E. has moved in the last few years, took for granted the claims of its leaders that it was above all a reformed yet catholic church. After the Reformation it had shed all the medieval excesses that had been accumulated, for instance the sale of indulgences or the use of false images to hoodwink unlettered believers.
