    The Anglican church has long been disconnected from the laity- those with bottoms on the pews-whilst the clergy are always in various respects on another level- this disconnection showed up during the referendum when the clergy including the current Archbishop called on everyone-Christians to vote Remain- since then 2019-the Archbishop has called for a gathering of the good and the great to discuss how to think about the state of the country-
    I wondered then just how many joining the group to talk would be the same elites and establishment that think, and still do- that those who voted Leave were wrong-misguided didnot understand what was going on.
    It saddens me that RW here does not hold a more thoughtful and CONNECTED view to the reasons for the Leave Vote for Brexit
    But sadly the Church is not in the right place- that place that Christ directed them too-
    they are still thinking and behaving as if they have the 'truth'.

      Where exactly was the authoritarianism in his response? He: 1. Espoused the view that more time was needed for rational response, 2. Argued for not determining things by referendum so frequently, 3. Stated that referendum required agreed upon conventions like in Switzerland, 4. Argued that benefits should be received immediately, to reduce the disparity between the right to a benefit and actually receiving it, 5. Argued that missing appointments should not result in the loss of needed financial assistance, 6. Argued against antisemitism and taking more accountability for words and attitudes.
      Nearly all of those points are against authoritarianism.
