The changing face of Christianity in Britain

Interesting article by Theo Hobson about the state of Anglicanism in Britain.

It has long been fashionable to talk about the religious decline in Britain, but whatever ground the Church of England has lost, the evangelicals are gradually filling the void. Christianity may have become less established, but at the same time, it's becoming more assertive.

As can be seen with the recent storm over the wearing of crosses at BA, nothing makes religion thrive more than the feeling of persecution.
