| Lord Carey, the one-time Archbishop of Canterbury |
The Church of England is "one generation away from extinction", the former Archbishop of Canterbury has warned.
Lord Carey, 78, said churchgoers should be "ashamed" of themselves for failing to invest more in young people and called for urgent action beforen [sic] its too late.
The outspoken Lord said that unless more was done to attract new worshipers [sic] then every one of the 43 CofE dioceses across the world could be wiped out within 25 years.
He also expressed fears that the modern church [sic] was too old[-] fashioned and "not the most exciting place to meet new people".
The retired Anglican bishop was making a keynote speech at Holy Trinity Church in Shrewsbury, as part of the Shropshire Churches Conference 2013. » | Ben Riley-Smith, and agencies | Monday, November 18, 2013
