Kudos to the Church of England for finally getting it right. They’re not a church at all but a worldly institution committed to remodeling itself according to the whims and fads of modern culture.
Maybe they’re hoping that radical Islamists won’t attack the “Community of England.”
Fox News: The Church of England is apparently dropping the word “church” in the hopes of drawing in more crowds, according to a recent study.
The study, called “New Things: A theological investigation into the work of starting new churches across 11 dioceses in the Church of England,” was conducted by the Centre for Church Planting Theology and Research in Durham.
The qualitative study inspected language used by 11 Church of England dioceses to describe their new churches.

It hasn’t been a “church” since Henry VIII created it.

You mean Elizabeth I.
The Church of Henry VIII ended when his daughter, Mary, reconciled England to the Papacy.
The current Anglican confession arose from Elizabeth’s schism.

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen the same “community” language used at certain Catholic parishes.
