Unherd: Has the Church stopped working?

Giles Fraser suggests that the Church cannot be treated like a failing company:  ”the more we run around like headless
chickens, the more desperate, and less attractive we look.
Inevitably, the job becomes impossible and the workers in the
vineyard become drained of motivation. As The Times reveals, a
third of clergy have considered quitting in the past five
years. This, then, is what’s new about the Church of England’s
current death spiral. “All of the church’s problems stem from the
clergy’s inability to sit quietly in a room alone,” as Pascal almost
wrote.”
