Underground Church

I found this blog entry at "From the Desk of Jeff King" and it's about the status of Christianity in England and how it's being reduced to an insignificant movement. I think this is where Christianity is heading in America. Take a look see if you have time.

The Times of London reports that Christianity is crumbling in Great Britain and soon will be driven underground. Jayne Ozanne, senior advisor to Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams, warns that great persecution is coming to the Church as it continues to implode and fragment over homosexual clergy and other divisive issues. She sees a day coming when Christianity in Britain is reduced to a movement comparable to resistance movements in World War II. Ozanne's comments found their way to WorldNetDaily:

"I remain convinced that the only way for the Church to survive the storms that are currently besetting it is to embrace the hard truth with honesty and humility," wrote Ozanne. Questioning whether Church leaders really believe any more in a God who can move mountains or in a God who can raise the dead, she warns that the Church seems to have forgotten how to meet the cost of being Christian. She continued, "Sacrificial giving is not a concept that we in the West have either embraced or understood. We are too comfortable and, as a result, too compromised. I see a time of great persecution coming, which will drive Christianity all but underground in the West. I believe that this will primarily take the form of a social and economic persecution, where Christians will be ridiculed for their faith and pressurized into making it a purely private matter."
