When you study the history, from its beginnings until now, the Anglican Church could possibly be the most hypocritical institution to ever exist.
Real question is how long will it continue.
The only hope seems to be in Africa.
The Australian branch seems to be collapsing under the weight of child sex abuse, homosexuality, and a priesthood that knows neither God nor the Bible.

Here’s the whole problem with the sinking irrelevant cesspit that is also known as the Anglican Church. You know the church started by the beheading lascivious fat Henry.
The leadership.
Look at the priests.
They don’t know their bibles, and are theologically confused if not completely ignorant.
(Okay not all of them)
But the one thing they are sure of?
The one thing they are happy to share?
Their opinions on American politics.
But here’s the problem. They get their information from late night comedians and left-wing journalists …. so …. it’s natural that they are left-wing Trump haters.
There are even Aussie priests who delight in airing their knowledge. And yet they’ve never heard of Ann Coulter. Which means …they really don’t watch much American TV or missed the episodes when a comedian ridiculed her.
But they can be excused. The main channels are extraordinarily biased.
Take the huge news about the book written by Donna Brazile! Now …. do I need to explain who she is ? Lol
Probably.
Okay, the woman who gave Hillary the criminal the questions for the CNN debate against Trump.
Now she’s telling the inside story of the DNC and how Hillary the hypocrite rigged the election.
Nothing about this on the three major networks in the US.
Incredible huh?
No. Because it’s extremely damaging to the Democratic Party . And it distracts them from spoonfeeding gullible Anglican priests who need something to preach to their congregations of geriatrics who are tired of hearing about homosexuality and Uluru.
Sex abuse, sex abuse coverups, militant pushing of homosexual agenda, priests who fiend more time reading Huffington Post than the Gospels.
The sad ending of a church that had a sad beginning.
I guess the only thing to do is for confused anti-conservatives to jump on the payroll and hope the Anglican Church survives until they can secure a discounted place in an Anglican retirement home.

“The Episcopal Church in the U.S. lost nearly 35,000 members last year, according to figures released this week by the denomination which has been on a decline for about a decade.
The number of active members of TEC decreased by 34,179 in 2016, according to the statistics released. In 2015, the denomination lost 37,669 members. The average Sunday worship attendance also decreased by 9,327 last year.
“The 2016 data reflects a continuation of recent trends, although rates of decline in such key figures as Average Sunday Attendance have decreased,” Canon Michael Barlowe, executive officer of TEC’s general convention, says in the
Over the last 10 years, the average Sunday attendance has fallen by a quarter, leading to the closing down of 37 parishes in the last year. TEC now has 6,473 congregations across the country.
One factor in the decline was the liberal theological direction of the denomination, including its growing acceptance of homosexuality and gay marriage. In 2003, when it appointed its first openly gay bishop, the Rev. Gene Robinson, scores of congregations left the denomination.”

What a terrible organization. It’s not only Australia either. Back in England, the abuse was terrible too.
Maybe the screening for new priests is a problem?
Or are people attracted to this church somehow inspired by its murderous founder?
I am convinced there is even more horrible abuse that has taken place that hasn’t come to the surface.
And I’m convinced that it’s being going in for generations and is a big part of the reason why people have been leaving for years.
Many question whether it’s even worth salvaging.
Anyone interested in running a separate Anglicanchurchwatch site?

I ought to be ashamed to be a Newcastle Anglican, given the disgusting crimes against children which have been brought to light by the work of the Royal Commission. However, I am actually proud. I am proud that our Bishop and his team of senior clergy and lay leaders were prepared to lead us staunchly into facing our past and as we built a safer, stronger future.
I am disgusted by the hypocrisy of the men who used the same hands that consecrated the sacraments to commit the most heinous crimes against children. Children they sought out becuse of their isolation and weakness. Children who looked to them as father figures, but who received nothing but pain and horror from them. I am disgusted at the leadership in our diocese over the years which protected the abusers and made life impossible for the abused and those who sought to bring light into darkness.
I am proud to be not only a member of the Anglican Church and the diocese of Newcastle, but I am also proud that in 4 weeks I will stand/kneel before our Bishop who will lay actual holy hands on me to ordain me as a Deacon in the church of God…and then, God (and the Bishop) willing, on December 9 I will be made a priest.
Why am I proud? Because we have not and will not attempt to hide or cover our shame, we have and will continue to face it…and that is a healthy thing.

I got that alphabet thing wrong – I’m forgetting the “plus”
“decided that the term “Bi” (short for bisexual) is insufficiently inclusive, and are campaigning to have it replaced with “Bi+”.
They argue that the term, which traditionally refers to those attracted to both men and women, is incompatible with the huge array of available gender identities.
Delegates at an LGBT+ conference in London this month were told that the Bi label needed to expand to properly include those who are – for example – polysexual, pan-sexual or omni-romantic.”
What about G-? Not quite gay….?
One day when they’ve used up all the letters of the alphabet with plus and minus permutations – mankind will evolve to where there’s just normal people. Men and women who like each other.
Won’t be anymore hypocritical Anglicans either probably. They will either have all been arrested or died of old age listening to Greg the Vicar’s didgeridoo and the Explorer’s elementary school level lame rhyme jokes.
