It is the start of the year 2021, so it seemed a good time to write a review of the state of the Church in the world. It isn’t that the state of the church is so different from what it has mostly been, an immiscible mixture of heroic suffering, short-sighted ease and downright betrayal… Continue reading The Church at War, still in its Pyjamas
