The misguided priorities of church authorities

"Priests are happy when they are released...How often have I heard retired clergy celebrate their newfound freedom: “I’m finally doing what I was ordained to do.”

"I suspect there are bishops out there who desire the same."

Cornwall has become the latest diocese to throw good money after shiny pipe-dreams while forcing good ordinary parish ministry to wither and die without proper funding. The Bishop of Truro cannot continue to refuse to meet his flock. Let’s pray for a change of heart. https://twitter.com/neilwallis1/status/1525021528563359744

Neil Wallis@neilwallis1

If you live in Cornwall, read this! Go to church regularly, or just at Christmas or Easter? Please read. Go to weddings, baptisms or funerals, or just enjoy having a local vicar & historic buildings? This affects you - Please, read & RT #SaveTheParish https://www.churchtimes.co.uk/articles/2022/13-may/news/uk/parishioners-fear-brutal-cuts-to-clergy-posts
