The Church Militant - or Redundant?

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

The recent decision to close down a number of Anglican theological colleges has highlighted the continuing decrease in the number of men being ordained in the Church of England. This is but one of the symptoms of an apparently general decline in the strength and authority of the Church in what is coming to be known as the post-Christian era.
On this Good Friday, the most solemn day in the Christian year, Alan Gibson examines the current situation in the Church of England and the implications for its future in the light of a variety of views held by some of its bishops, clergy and laity.
