"God does not exist as an independent agent. God is a figure created as a human ideal." Such words might not sound unusual coming from an atheistic scientist or philosopher. But what are we to make of such words coming from the spokesman for a group of Anglican priests?
As reported in one British newspaper, "more than 70 serving Anglican priests are members of an organization that does not believe in the literal truth of the Bible or in the existence of God."
Conditions in the Anglican leadership have deteriorated so much and so quickly that one newspaper columnist wonders, "Is it time to shut down the Church of England?" He is particularly provoked by a leading bishop who condones consensual homosexual relations for people as young as 16. (Source: The Sunday Times [London].)
