The Future of Education

Episcopalians Today

I have not written much about what is going on in the wonderful world of Anglicanism. Part of it is due to inertia. Long posts require thought, which is too much like work. Part of it is apathy. But mostly it's because I think I've already said what I wanted to say. The problems of the modern Episcopal Church are intrinsic to the organisation itself. They are pretty obvious. And there does not seem to be the will to reform the church in such a way as to assure its continued existence.

In short, the Episcopal Church has lost its collective will to live. If Timmy refuses to grab the rope, then Lassie can not pull him from the well.
