The Church does not need a female archbishop

Kate Orson recognises that the Church of England needs to change, but argues that the future isn’t female or male. She urges us to look to Jesus for our guidance rather than worldly authority 

The Church of England needs something. Attendance rates have been falling for decades and fell much more sharply after COVID. Research conducted by the Brierly consultancy found that between 2005 and 2010, Church of England membership declined, while orthodox, Pentecostal and other new churches (including evangelical and charismatic) had an increase in members.
