Where are all the debaters of the world? Getting lonely here on the comments section!

Thanks Mark, interesting to read your Guardian article. Last night I read this one by Tim Wyatt:
"But throughout it all, the Bible Society has held firm. They’ve not just stood by their story, they’ve aggressively attacked people like me who have questioned their findings or raised concerns. They’ve dismissed the scepticism of a slew of well-respected statisticians and sociologists who also find the Quiet Revival thesis hard to believe."
Hi Moya I have deleted a comment you have submitted because it says something about the life of an archbishop but it is the wrong archbishop - I think you are describing the life of ++Cherry Vann of Wales and not ++Sarah Mullaly of England!
