The Church of England is dumbing down and needs to revert to more traditional ways, a Jersey vicar has claimed.
The rector of St Saviour Dr Anthony Swindell said religion was being “over-simplified to make it more popular”.
He said people were too worried about salesmanship and not enough about Christianity.
Look – if he could perhaps turn what he wants to say into a rap song, an evening of cabaret or a stand up act, I might pay attention. Otherwise? Nah.
Interesting that a discussion between the parish rector and his Dean has got into the secular press of Jersey!
#2 Remember that Jersey is a small island. Scale it up and you will see the parallels.
Interesting also that the majority of the article is taken up with the Dean’s rebuttal. The rector hardly gets a word in; but his point is well made.
