I just wonder, with the current turmoil in the Church of England and the difficulty in attracting young people in their twenties and thirties, whether a perceived lack of commitment is becoming a stumbling block.
I wonder whether there's a perceived lack of spirituality, open-ness and possible "humbug" seen by the unchurched public.
Maybe there is a place in the Church for a Lay order of some kind - that people can commit to, can commit to a Rule of Life that may just re-vitalise the Church?
