Disestablishment?

I wonder what will happen to the Church of England after this debate over gay bishops. The future doesn't look rosy what ever way the debate comes out, really. It was nice to hear an actual bishop endorsing my view of the bible, saying that it consists of people describing their experiences of God and what they believed about it. It's a valuable document, particularly for learning about Jesus but it does need to be read in the context of it's time and shouldn't be taken literally.

That last bit of your post brings to mind a friend of the family, who's a vicar/reverend (never quite sure which, or if they are same thing?!). He had a discussion with his vicar when he discovered that he didn't actually believe in God. It didn't matter though. Because he was able to still do the job - all the pasteral side of the job and all... the message could still still be delivered.
