Rise in number of Anglican Churches
The Daily Telegraph reports that the number of Anglican churches in Britain has risen for the first time in more than a decade, according to new research.
The figures, to be published this week by Christian Research show that between 2007 and 2008, the total number of Anglican congregations in the UK rose from 18,198 to 18,208 – the first increase for ten years.
Benita Hewitt, director of Christian Research, said that the overall picture of the Church in Britain was encouraging.
"It's been in decline for many years, and there have been many predictions of the death of the Church, but things have changed in recent years," she said.
"It is too early to predict growth for the future, but it shows that the churches' attempts to adapt to the changing society are paying off."
