[Apologetics] Anglican Clergy Who Don't Believe in God

Anglican Clergy who don't believe in God
By Ruth Gledhill

Clergy and laity show signs of schism over
homosexuality, miracles and the Almighty
 
HUNDREDS of Church of England clergy doubt the
existence of God and fewer than two thirds believe in
miracles, a study out today says. 

The report, published on the eve of the General Synod,
refers to “very fragile faultlines along which the
Church of England could be torn apart”. Congregations
are much more conservative than most of the
comparatively liberal clergy preaching to them. 
 
The report says that if committed Anglicans are clear
about one thing it is the existence of God: 97 per
cent have no hesitation in affirming His existence.
Yet, it contyinues, one in 33 clerics doubts the
existence of God. If reflected throughout the Church’s
9,000 clergy the finding would mean that nearly 300
Church of England clergy are uncertain that God
exists.
