Seventy atheist 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].)
