That’s true, but look at their expenditure… I’m not jumping to the defense of the CofE, but the daily income of 300,000, probably only JUST pays to keep the churches in England going… think of all their costs… a church cost a hell of a lot to heat, then there’s reroofing, upkeep, maintainance.

God, I can’t believe I’m defending the anglican church… (sitting in a nice warm rectory, living off their money! :p )
