The Anglican Church has misread the zeitgeist yet again!

The Anglican Church is dying: it no longer inspires people to attend services. Churches across the country are therefore largely empty on Sunday mornings and evenings. Pews are sparsely filled.

By contrast, mosques across the country are often full to bursting. The population of Muslims in the country is much smaller, yet mosques are fuller, and often with relatively young men, too.

I believe that there is a good reason for this; and it is simple to understand. Islam is a muscular, masculine religion which appeals to virile young men. Modern Christianity, by contrast, no longer appeals to such young men because the religion has been feminized.

The feminization of the Church and its message has been underscored by the appointment, for the very first time, of a lady Archbishop of Canterbury. Whilst I wish the lady well, I doubt that her appointment will achieve the goal of filling the pews. At this time in the history of the Church, and of all times, the Church was crying out for a strong, male leader to inspire young men to attend services. In my opinion, the cues and the zeitgeist have been totally misread. — © Mark Alexander
