Parish Closings in England

A blog posting by someone from the Church of England takes an interesting perspective on church closings. Since United Parishes is about promoting honest dialogue about church closings and educating ourselves on how these issues play out, this provides a perspective worth discussing.

"The Church of England has too many – far too many – churches and many of its congregations are too small to be viable. England has changed from a country in which the Christian population needs pastoring, to a country where the pagan population needs evangelizing. So we must ask whether the parish system is a suitable structure for re-evangelizing England."
