Christ will be master of the heart...

Christ will be master of the heart, and sin must be mortified. If your life is unholy, then your heart is unchanged, and you are an unsaved person. The Savior will sanctify His people, renew them, give them a hatred of sin, and a love of holiness. The grace that does not make a man better than others is a worthless counterfeit. Christ saves His people, not IN their sins, but FROM their sins. Without holiness, no man shall see the Lord.  —Charles Spurgeon

A Nation That Won’t Enforce Immigration Laws Isn’t A Nation At All  It may be that the next few years will decide whether America remains a sovereign nation or succumbs to subversion from within.Image

This parental inaction led directly to children being harassed and endangered. In front of their parents. It is in the bad times, not the good, that our true character shows itself. I hope this never happens to them, or anyone else, again. And if it does, I hope the next group of parents is more psychologically prepared to defend their children. Because the result of this attack and the lack of parental response is that the attackers will be that much more emboldened to do it again.

Meanwhile, British authorities continue to incarcerate native Brits for “mean Tweets.”  The “thought police” threw unknown Briton Lucy Connolly in prison for denouncing mass immigration after an Islamic terrorist murdered three young girls.  British authorities banned prominent Dutch commentator Eva Vlaardingerbroek from entering the U.K. because her criticism of mass immigration was deemed “not conducive to the public good.”  And a heroic London bus driver was recently fired for risking his life to stop a thief and protect a passenger.
   The “future” that Britain is “importing” is one in which Islamic terrorists are celebrated, and native Brits get fired, harassed, or imprisoned.
   Europe has chosen abortion and suicide.  If America can’t learn from Europe’s death, America will soon die, too.

------------------------------------

Where Islam gains power, the result is not spiritual renewal – but legal domination. Apostates are killed. Critics are silenced. Women are controlled. Minorities are taxed or erased. The vulnerable suffer most.
   And Western leaders, blind to the distinction between religion and rule, continue to fund, accommodate, and protect what they believe to be faith.
   They will discover – when it is too late – that the mosque was never just a church. And that Islam was never just a religion.

Who Is Behind the Anti-ICE Protests in Minneapolis?  Alex Pretti and Renée Good died needlessly on the streets of Minneapolis. They had been poorly trained in "ICE watching," the name that activists have given to the practice of blocking, impeding, harassing, and otherwise interfering with the execution of raids and other law enforcement actions by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE

New Poll Shatters Narrative: Voters Overwhelmingly Back Deportations and ICE  “Americans support deporting those in the country illegally by a [nearly] 2-to-1 margin, 61% to 34%.”

But history shows that once in charge, a Stalin or a Mao or a Pol Pot will mow down the rich first...

California's Hospice Fraud Explosion: Billions Drained From Taxpayers  The massive hospice fraud racket thriving under California’s lax oversight is finally getting the spotlight it deserves, as the Trump administration’s CMS chief Dr. Mehmet Oz hits the streets of Los Angeles to call out the billions in stolen taxpayer dollars.

Chinese Bioweapons Labs Keep Popping Up in America  I keep reading about Chinese people smuggling in dangerous fungi, bacteria, and viruses, and you do have to wonder whether this is just a hobby for Chinese students or whether something more systematic is happening.

Plastic Surgeons Become the First Major Medical Society to Renounce Gender Surgeries for Minors   Kennedy said, “We commend the American Society of Plastic Surgeons for standing up to the overmedicalization lobby and defending sound science. By taking this stand, they are helping protect future generations of American children from irreversible harm.”

The Nephilim Debate Just Got a Boost From Ancient Egypt Naturally, there are those who want to womp-womp all over this news, claiming that there’s no archaeological evidence for “giants,” but the Egyptian papyrus merely describes people who are as tall as NBA players. It might not clear up all the mysteries of the Nephilim, but it’s always exciting to find other accounts that confirm or back up what the Bible says. Image

I am the Good Shepherd...

I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep. And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd.  -John 10:14-16

My Lord Jesus Christ, Good Shepherd, who have shown Your very gentle mercy to us unworthy sinners in various physical pains and sufferings, give grace and strength to me, Your little lamb, that in no tribulation or anguish or pain may I turn away from You!  
-Francis of Assisi

Hey, Creatures, Leave Those Kids Alone: The Worst Form of Liberal 'Privilege' Yet  After reading that repulsive list of privileged Democrats, it won't surprise you to know that illegal immigrants who commit sexual assault, even against kids, are now a part of the Democrats' miscreant club and are frequently set free by some filthy, Marxist judge.

New York Released Almost 7,000 Criminal Illegal Aliens New York released almost 7,000 criminal illegal aliens last year as a result of sanctuary policies, rewarding killers, rapists, robbers, and burglars while defying Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Kathy Hochul Vows to Impede ICE Operations in New York  We've all seen New York's track record of prosecuting actual criminals. They get set free time and again...This means Hochul doesn't actually want to keep New York safe.

The NY Post said in some places on the Upper East Side, the garbage was eight feet high. People need to understand that the UES is one of the wealthiest parts of the city. But you know what area was clear? The area right around Mamdani's present home at Gracie Mansion.

Soros Groups Sue to Stop Halt on Welfare-Dependent Immigrants Last month, Trump posted the welfare rates of immigrant groups living in the U.S., revealing the extent to which mass legal immigration is costing American taxpayers.
    Most notably, the data shows that more than 81 percent of migrant households from Bhutan are on welfare, as well as 75 percent of households from Yemen, 72 percent of households from Somalia, 71 percent of households from the Marshall Islands, 68 percent of households from the Dominican Republic, 68 percent of households from Afghanistan, and 66 percent of households from the Congo, among others.

The Danger of Leftist (and Muslim) Medical Professionals In the Hippocratic Oath, doctors also pledge that they will “do no harm or injustice” to their patients. These leftist and Muslim doctors and nurses have shown themselves incapable of that and should not be trusted to continue working in the medical field. And yes, there are numerous leftist and Muslim medical professionals who are competent, professional, sane and fair. But what is to be done about the others, and about the hatreds that make them think they’re righteous even as they are steeped in evil?

But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake...

But even if you should suffer for righteousness' sake, you will be blessed. Have no fear of them, nor be troubled, but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect, having a good conscience, so that, when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ may be put to shame. For it is better to suffer for doing good, if that should be God's will, than for doing evil.  -1 Peter 3:14-17

The more vigor you need, the more gentleness and kindness you must combine with it... All stiff, harsh goodness is contrary to Jesus.  -François Fénelon

Trump Launches $12 Billion Strategic Mineral Stockpile To Counter China; Rare Earth Stocks Jump    The project, known as Project Vault, is designed to reduce America’s dependence on China for rare earths and other strategically important metals. By creating a centralized reserve for civilian industries, officials hope to cushion companies against sudden shortages and sharp price swings that can disrupt production and strain finances. Image

-----------------------------------

UN on Brink of Financial Collapse, Says UN Chief   The major reason for the UN’s woes is that member states haven’t paid their dues. At the top of the list is the United States, which reportedly owes $2.2 billion in overdue and current assessments for the UN’s regular operating budget and another $1.8 billion for the UN “peacekeeping” operations budget. While refusing to exit the globalist entity completely, President Donald Trump’s administration has caused it significant harm, not only by withholding dues but by pulling out of several UN-tied organizations, including the World Health Organization (WHO), UNESCO, and many others.

WHO Just Ran A Simulation For The “Next Pandemic.” 31 Governments Took Part  The framing is notable. WHO did not describe the drill as preparation for a hypothetical scenario. It repeatedly referred to readiness for “the next pandemic.”

The analysis, published by Jason Richwine at the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), reviews Census Bureau data on Afghan immigrants in the U.S. — an immigrant group that has exploded from just 22,000 in 1990 to almost a quarter of a million as of 2024.
  Most significantly, the Census data shows that almost all Afghan households with children are on publicly funded welfare — similar to that of Somali immigrant households with children in Minnesota, where 81 percent of such households are on at least one form of welfare.

Mamdani Is Already Trashing New York to Third-World Status...Almost a week after New York City got hit with over a foot of snow, the town of 8 million residents is still a mess  Homeless people are dying in the streets. And not only is the unplowed snow making basic transportation a challenge for city residents and visitors, but massive mountains of uncollected garbage are piling up, and Mamdani himself is a big part of the cause of the problem. 
   You still can’t walk on most sidewalks. Buses and taxis can’t navigate major streets and avenues. Residents describe a city that’s “paralyzed,” not by the weather, but by local government’s incompetence under Mamdani.

Boston Mayor Wu Claims ‘Every Single Human‘ on Earth Has ‘Legal Right‘ to Come to the U.S.  Texas Republican Rep. Brandon Gill, for one, ripped Democrats, saying, “Dems demand infinity immigration, then infinity welfare — all at Americans’ expense.”

It’s a tale of two First Ladies—and one revealing weekend.
    On one side stood Hillary Clinton, re-emerging from political exile to lecture Americans via The Atlantic—a publication whose readership now struggles to justify its own existence—about immigration and Christianity. In her essay, Clinton scolded the United States for enforcing immigration law, accusing the Trump administration of violating what she called Christianity’s “core teachings of dignity, mercy, and compassion.”

Saint Hillary Clinton Has a Moral Message for the MAGA Movement...believes that the “savage” MAGA movement must be destroyed root and branch   Most importantly, for all of Hillary’s talk about mercy and compassion, she never has any to spare for the victims of illegal migrant criminals, or any acknowledgment of the fact that pro-mass migration agitators, rather than being the Christlike apostles of love that she portrays them to be, are courting confrontations, often violent ones, with ICE agents, hoping to get a result they can use for propaganda purposes.

-----------------------------------

Nurses, Heal Thyself: Trump Derangement Syndrome Enters the Hospital   Yet Trump Derangement Syndrome has reached pandemic levels among a militant and increasingly visible cadre of health care professionals, infecting even those entrusted with others’ lives. Increasingly, a vocal minority of nurses and other health care workers - individuals granted extraordinary access and authority -- openly fantasize about harming political opponents. This is not merely unprofessional behavior. It is a profound ethical failure.

-----------------------------------

Detransitioner Wins $2M in Medical Malpractice Lawsuit    A growing group of young people who found out too late that "gender transitions" are anti-biological, unscientific, and excessively unhealthy are trying to hold the woke medical and political liars to account. Leftists try to ignore or sometimes openly attack these "detransitioners" because they expose the heartbreak and horror attendant on vain interventions to alter biological reality. One detransitioner just achieved a landmark victory in New York, however, according to multiple online reports.

Let’s be honest, there shouldn’t be any women’s or gender studies degrees at all in higher education. Such degrees are merely a product of neo-Marxist ideology, studying people as “classes” and adding in a huge dose of pure fantasy.

Christ Our Hope in Life and Death

 
Christ Our Hope in Life and Death 
Keith and Kristyn Getty, Matt Papa

What is our hope in life and death?
Christ alone, Christ alone.
What is our only confidence?
That our souls to him belong.
Who holds our days within his hand?
What comes, apart from his command?
And what will keep us to the end?
The love of Christ, in which we stand.

O sing hallelujah!
Our hope springs eternal;
O sing hallelujah!
Now and ever we confess
Christ our hope in life and death.

What truth can calm the troubled soul?
God is good, God is good.
Where is his grace and goodness known?
In our great Redeemer’s blood.
Who holds our faith when fears arise?
Who stands above the stormy trial?
Who sends the waves that bring us nigh
Unto the shore, the rock of Christ?

Unto the grave, what shall we sing?
“Christ, he lives; Christ, he lives!”
And what reward will heaven bring?
Everlasting life with him.
There we will rise to meet the Lord,
Then sin and death will be destroyed,
And we will feast in endless joy,
When Christ is ours forevermore.

The hour has come for you to wake from sleep...

Besides this you know the time, that the hour has come for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed. The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light. -Romans 13:11-12

We have the means to evangelize our country; but they are slumbering in the pews of our churches.  -John Stott

Trump States Gaining Population As High-Tax States Lose People, New Census Data Show  Low-tax, Republican-leaning states are gaining people, while higher-tax, Democrat-leaning states are losing them, according to new domestic migration data released this week by the U.S. Census Bureau.

If New York residents, especially those in New York City, get so little in return, where does all that money go?  Not to better roads, not to education, not to the quality of life, not to assist those who are truly needy.  Somehow it simply vanishes — but into whose pockets?

-------------------------------------

California’s Oil Refining System Has Collapsed, and One Region Is Ground Zero  Oil remains central to transportation, freight, agriculture, construction, manufacturing, and the petrochemical feedstocks embedded in clothing, medical devices, pharmaceuticals, electronics, and sanitation.
   Anyone who has worked around infrastructure understands this. Concrete does not pour itself. Steel does not fabricate itself. Heavy equipment does not run on intentions. Supply chains do not move on declarations.
    Even the “clean energy” economy depends on petroleum. Wind turbines, solar panels, batteries, electric vehicles, and grid infrastructure all rely on petroleum-based materials and global shipping. And even if electrification accelerates, California still lacks the transmission capacity to move sufficient power to population centers.

Trump's Energy Policies Saved Lives During Harsh Winter Storms  But this storm, as bad as it was, could have been a lot worse if the Biden administration had gotten its way. It ordered five major coal plants to close as part of its green energy agenda, and taking those power plants offline would have spelled disaster for millions of Americans.
   Thankfully, the Trump administration kept them open.


-------------------------------------

Democrats Have Become The "Useful Idiots" Of Globalist/Marxist Forces Bent On Destroying Western Civ  Okay, those are the players outside the USA fomenting revolution among us. The picture, though, is woefully incomplete without America’s Democratic Party, which activates and amplifies the dynamic inside the USA. The Democrats are hostages of the outside forces, but they are not innocent hostages. They are hostage also to their own demonic greed — for power and riches. The Democratic Party has engineered itself into a colossal racketeering operation, a criminal organization, a mafia.

-------------------------------------

The Data Is In — and the Narrative Is Wrong:  Consumer confidence, demographics, and falling inflation gird the Trump economy   The combination of solid wage growth, low inflation, a confident consumer, and a labor market that remains fundamentally healthy — despite requiring fewer monthly job additions due to demographic shifts — suggests the economic expansion should continue at a healthy pace in 2026. And this is without factoring in the stimulus coming in the first half of 2026 from the Trump tax cuts, continued tariff revenue, and two likely additional interest rate cuts from the Fed this year.

-------------------------------------

The New Monroe Doctrine: Buckle Up — This Is Where It Gets Real  But tonight, I want to focus on something that is going to happen this year beyond those two headline-grabbing situations. I know I sound like a broken record when I say this, but a large portion of the Western Hemisphere is taking a big swing to the right. People are sick of socialism and leftist policies. Countries like Bolivia, Chile, and Honduras have elected United States-aligned and, in some cases, Trump-like candidates in recent months.

Panama boots China from Panama Canal in another victory for Trump’s Monroe Doctrine revival  Panama’s Supreme Court decision to force out a Chinese port operator caps the Trump administration’s year-long effort to oust China from the strategic waterway

Mother Testifies She Consented to Daughter’s Transgender Surgery Over Fears for the Teen’s Life  Varian’s attorneys have suggested that she actually had body dysmorphia, an irrational obsession with a flaw or part of one’s anatomy. They allege that the health care professionals did not give enough consideration to her host of other problems: depression, autism, social phobia, anxiety, and anorexia.
Deacon said she was never fully on board with the procedure and initially told Einhorn that “it was never gonna happen” if she had any say in the matter. This led to many “heated discussions” with the psychologist.
  “This man was just so emphatic, and pushing and pushing, that I felt like there was no good decision,” she said.

HHS Ends Biden Rule Mandating Pharmacies Dispense Abortion Drugs  Trump’s HHS also scrapped the Biden administration’s use of the term “pregnant person,” pointing out the fact that “only women and girls can be pregnant.”

In that same hour he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit...

In that same hour he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children; yes, Father, for such was your gracious will.   
-Luke 10:21

It is almost always a mistake to recruit exceptional people for leadership; look for ordinary Christians—that is mostly what you have anyway. But prize them, value them. And appoint them as leaders.  -Eugene H. Peterson

Mamdani Restricts ‘Gifted’ Student Program Despite Parental Advocate Objections  Commie Mamdani plans to eliminate the program at the kindergarten level and move the lowest grade entry for it up to third grade, the UK Daily Mail reported. This will prevent more than 2,000 students from accessing the special program at the earliest educational level. Parental advocacy group Defending Education, which previously helped win a legal case to keep the gifted and talented program in place, is condemning the move.

In Mamdani’s worldview, core American values are set aside. Individual rights give way to notions of “social” or group justice -- largely foreign to the American tradition. New Yorkers are urged to jettison the “frigidity of rugged individualism” for the supposed “warmth of collectivism”.
   Equality, as he understands it, no longer denotes equality before the law or of opportunity, but redistribution enforced by the state. The approach finds expression in forthcoming “rental rip off” tenant tribunals aimed at landlords.

Bad Week for Woke Florida Nurses As State's AG and Surgeon General Give Two the 'Find Out' Treatment  In a since-deleted post on social media, Martindale said, "I will not perform anesthesia for any su rgeries or procedures for MAGA. It is my right, it is my ethical oath, and I stand behind my education. I own all of my businesses and I can refuse anyone!" 
   Martindale later said that his Facebook account was hacked.

This week, X has seen chilling videos of nurses saying terrifying things about what they would do to ICE agents should ICE agents come under their care. One of our readers here, a personal friend of mine, sent this account of what happened to her. I’ve slightly anonymized it, for her safety... 
Read her chilling account...

Canada’s euthanasia program is turning into an organ harvesting nightmare  So the potential for organ harvesting – the potential for crossing that line from offering MAID to promoting it as the next step in Canada’s healthcare system – is massive. For those requiring an organ transplant and unwilling to be placed on a waiting list, a new liver or kidneys is more valuable than a lottery win or a box of precious metals.
   The MAID program in Canada has gradually expanded over the years and was on the verge of including the mentally ill, the addicted and even children to its list of those “eligible” for the procedure. The Liberal government at the time paused that expansion, given the pushback from many healthcare professionals, including psychiatrists, who suggested depression might just be a temporary affliction and something that can be overcome with therapy less invasive and lethal than doctor-assisted suicide.

Is Assisted Suicide as Peaceful, Dignified, and Humane as Advertised? In a word, no. But people want so badly to believe otherwise,

Hillary Clinton’s actions show the extent to which the Minneapolis riots are being supported from the top down by key figures in the Democratic Party. These riots are not organic. Many of the groups involved have benefited from federal, state and city funding. Their nonprofits have been protected from interference within the IRS despite their involvement in illegal activities.

Trump, two sons, Trump Org sue IRS, Treasury for $10 billion over tax records leak  “The IRS wrongly allowed a rogue, politically-motivated employee to leak private and confidential information about President Trump, his family, and the Trump Organization to the New York Times, ProPublica and other left-wing news outlets,” a spokesman for Trump’s legal team said.

American Teachers, Education Officials Attend Confucius Institute Conference In China Banned For Communist Propaganda  The 2025 World Chinese Language Conference reveals that, despite public scrutiny, American school officials, U.S. Confucius Institute personnel, and students tied to American education programs are still engaging directly with Beijing’s language-influence machinery.
      British universities are doing the same.

Our Neighbor to the North Enters Into a Perilous Partnership With China Mark Carney sought to build a “new strategic partnership” with Beijing and, in doing so, sacrificed security, democracy, and freedom for Canada and its allies.

Prayer is something deeper than words...

O Lord, God of my salvation,
 I cry out day and night before you.
 Let my prayer come before you;
incline your ear to my cry!
-Psalm 88:1-2

Prayer is something deeper than words. It is present in the soul before it has been formulated into words. And it abides in the soul after the last words of prayer have passed over our lips.
Prayer is an attitude of our hearts, an attitude of mind. Prayer is a definite attitude of our hearts toward God, an attitude which He in heaven immediately recognizes as prayer, as an appeal to His heart. Whether it takes the form of words or not, does not mean anything to God, only to ourselves.  -O. Hallesby 

----------------------------------------

VCU Health Bends the Knee After Anti-ICE Nurse's Vile Videos Spark Backlash - But Big Questions Remain Among them was Malinda Cook, CRNA at VCU Medical Center, Richmond. Ms. Cook has now been fired by VCU Health after TikTok videos of her urging others in her field to do things that could medically harm or otherwise incapacitate immigration enforcement officers went viral and sparked backlash...

Florida suspends license of nurse who wished childbirth injury on Karoline Leavitt  The former labor and delivery nurse, identified as Alexis Lawler, posted a video on social media last week where she wished Leavitt would experience a "fourth degree tear" during childbirth. She was fired over the post.

In an era where trust in institutions is already frayed, a disturbing trend has emerged within the medical profession: healthcare workers openly expressing willingness, even eagerness, to deny care or inflict harm on patients based on political disagreements. A recent viral scandal involving a Virginia nurse underscores just how far this rot has spread...
...This is not an isolated aberration. It is symptomatic of a broader, deeply troubling pattern on the political Left within healthcare. During the COVID-19 pandemic, countless doctors, nurses, and other providers took to social media to declare they would prioritize or deprioritize care based on vaccination status, a proxy for political affiliation. Some gleefully wished death on the unvaccinated, calling them “selfish” or worse. Others explicitly stated they would deny treatment to Trump supporters, with posts like “Let the MAGA folks die” gaining traction in certain online echo chambers.

----------------------------------------

Once sanctuary states, cities, and counties had established the precedent that, with impunity, they could nullify federal immigration law, then what followed was a logical and mounting descent into the current open defiance of the federal government. How odd that self-described progressives are now acting out the visions of prior kindred nullificationists and neo-Confederates from John C. Calhoun to George Wallace.

Stupidity or Evil: Which is More Dangerous? Bonhoeffer warned us.   Bonhoeffer understood that totalitarian movements do not begin by demanding crimes. They begin by demanding submission. “Stop thinking,” they whisper. “Stop questioning. Stop weighing evidence. Trust the cause.” The price of belonging is intellectual surrender. In exchange, one receives certainty, camaraderie, and the intoxicating feeling of righteousness.
     The individual disappears. The herd advances.

Meanwhile, random Democrat librarians are recruiting social media followers to assassinate President Trump, and random Democrat nurses are working to poison federal agents. Virginia’s Democrat attorney general has fantasized about shooting Republicans in the head and watching Republicans’ children die in their mothers’ arms. Calling for the death of the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, Democrats chant, “Kristi Noem will hang!” Actress Molly Ringwald insists that Trump supporters will be found guilty of treason for having “collaborated” with “fascists.”
    Too many violent Democrats want us dead. Too few authorities will do anything to stop the threat. Be safe. Be vigilant. Be ready.

Mamdani Explains He Can’t Give Out Free Stuff Without Tax Hikes   The ‘free stuff’ isn’t coming. The class warfare is. And the larger aim is radicalization and revolution. Everything is going to be a fight with the same tiresome 99% and 1% rhetoric. Nothing will ever be achieved except the dismantling of New York City.
   There will be protest rallies, riots and lots of angry rhetoric and Mamdani will explain that he broke all his promises because of all the capitalists who don’t want an equal society. Overthrow the capitalists and you’ll get your free buses and bread lines. Image

Education Department Warns California to Halt Secret Gender Transitions of Kids  U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon insisted, “Under Gavin Newsom’s failed leadership, school personnel have even bragged about facilitating ‘gender transitions,’ and shared strategies to target minors and conceal information about children from their own families.” She slammed the Biden administration for ignoring the abuse before adding: “Children do not belong to the State—they belong to families. We will use every available mechanism to hold California accountable for these practices and restore parental rights.”

Ghost Phones: California Rakes in Millions for 94K Dead People  On Governor Newsom’s watch, California allowed over 94,000 dead people to be used to obtain federal dollars for phone and Internet service.  The FCC recently revoked California’s authority to run its own verification process.

   Having collapsed during the pandemic, when the church (with indecent haste) slammed its doors shut, regular attendance at services has ticked back up in recent years. The so-called “quiet revival” of Christian faith has, however, largely ­bypassed the Anglican church in favour of ­Catholicism and Pentecostalism. The average ­attendance at Church of England services on any given Sunday in 2024 was about 580,000, less than 1 per cent of the population. The average age of a churchgoer is 61. Image
