Belief: Heaven up here
Manage episode 355201022 series 3437729
The post-war dream was anchored in ideas of Britain as a Christian nation. Now we’re a polyglot country of different faiths and none. Can religious belief still tie Britain together? Should we want it to? Ros Taylor looks at the Church of England’s journey from its unifying role in the Second World War to its search for a new identity in a world of charismatic evangelicals, shifting sexualities and new ethnic communities. Does the CofE have to change or disappear?
• “Donating to the church collection isn’t enough. Some of us want a side of social justice with our sermon.” – Ros Taylor
• “The Church of England is essentially about the feeling of being English… and that’s been squandered by the clergy.” – Linda Woodhead
• “We think of London as the most socially liberal city in the country – but it’s actually the most socially conservative. And a major part of that is the type of Christianity and Islam followed by migrants.” – Tomiwa Owolade
