Thousands to leave the Church of England
According to author Craig Borlase, recent headlines predicting an exodus from the Church of England are just the tip of the iceberg. In 2159AD– a new history of the Church written from the perspective of 150 years in the future – Borlase
predicts a split in the Anglican Communion (within a decade), the death of Christendom (by the 2050s), and the return of the Vatican City to Italian sover-eignty.
He also suggests that the state of Israel will come under nuclear attack, that Utah will secede from the United States and that the Church will be increasingly judged over its response to humanitarian and ecological crises.
‘The Church is heading for colossal change,’ Borlase explains; ‘we’ve tried to ignore certain issues for so long, but closing our ears and eyes is no longer an option. The latest news from the Vatican is just the beginning.’
But 2159AD is not all pessimism; Borlase thinks that Richard Dawkins will end up trading in his atheism for an obscure brand of Orthodox Christianity.
