It's difficult to know what to make of this, Brother WJB. "Ms" Pepinster is obviously a dubious source of (mis)information, being not just one of Satan's wafer-munching minions but also having infiltrated the Anglican Center in Rome, where she acts as the UK's Development Officer.

I don't suppose even the British know what they're up to. If they did, that would be a first! Financially speaking, just giving it away would make a lot of sense, so they probably won't do that. A
report from a non-Catlick newspaper less than a year ago tells us:
Quote:
CofE affiliation has fallen to just 2 per cent among adults aged 18 to 24, while the majority of every age group now has no religion, the British Social Attitudes (BSA) survey found.
The number of Britons who describe themselves as part of the church has more than halved since 2002, from 31 per cent to 14 per cent. The number who actually attend sermons is far lower.
The sharpest drop was among 45- to 54-year-olds, only 11 per cent of whom identify with the CofE compared to 35 per cent in 2002.
The strongest affiliation with the church was among over-60s, but even there a minority of 30 per cent say they belong to the denomination.
It is the decline in young members which is particularly ominous for the CofE, however, because evidence suggests people rarely turn to organised religion later in life.

I suppose this could be an opportunity for Landover to increase our membership and tithe revenues, but is it worth it? Do we want these endlessly whining people and their soon-to-be-worthless currency? I suspect not.
