Archbishop of Canterbury resigns

And the BBC did report of GAFCON's disapproval of the new female archbishop of Canterbury on Oct 4.

Sarah Mullally: Choice of new Archbishop of Canterbury met "with sorrow" by conservative group Gafcon

The group, Gafcon, says that its followers believe "the Bible requires a male-only episcopacy".

GAFCON are a bunch of homophobic and mysoginistic dinosaurs. I suspect the Anglicans will be better off without the witch burning death camp supporters.

It's not really strange at all.

Most reporters are not religious, and have little to no clue about religion. They don't cover religious issues because they don't understand them and it doesn't really interest them either. Absent some scandal or some hook to tie into issues that they do care about, reporters generally just ignore religion. They aren't covering the story because they are blind to the significance of such events.

Now here's where we test for Gell-Mann amnesia: do you think that religion is the only issue that the press is blind to?

It’s very strange in the UK since the CofE is part of our political system.

A case of "our break-up was far more interesting for you than for me"?

We had the new Archbishop of Canterbury in my neck of the woods last week - along with 72 other Bishops, to look at the results of a £1,000,000 renovation of a local church. Don't worry it was during school hours.

Probably cost more to get them together to look at the renovation than to fix up the church.
