Christianity and K are interlinked, as we have discussed:
A new research shows that far more young people in Britain are Christian than previously thought, and that thousands of them are converting after visiting a church building.
More than 20 percent of people between the ages of 11 and 18 describe themselves as active followers of Jesus, and 13 percent say they are practicing Christians who attend church, according to a study commissioned by Christian youth organization Hope Revolution Partnership and carried out by ComRes, The Telegraph reported.
The study, which was conducted in December but has been released now after doubly verifying its data and conclusions, also showed that about 13 percent of teenagers decided to become a Christian after a visit to a church or cathedral. In fact, visiting a church building was more significant than attending a youth group, going to a wedding, or speaking to other Christians about their faith, the research found.
One in five said reading the Bible had been important, 17 percent said going to a religious school had had an impact and 14 percent said a spiritual experience was behind their Christianity.
“What is really exciting for us is that there is this warmth and openness that we are seeing among young people – they are really open to faith,” Jimmy Dale, the Church of England’s national youth evangelism officer, was quoted as saying. “It’s a real wake-up call for the church – we’ve got lots of young people who are coming into churches with school groups and that’s a really integral part of them becoming a Christian…”
A report, based on an analysis of the British Social Attitudes Survey and the European Social Survey and published in May, revealed that Anglicanism in Britain is beginning to see an upward trend due to a resurgence in patriotism and pride in Christianity. It said the proportion of those who say they are Church of England worshipers has risen from a low of 16.3 percent in 2009 to 17.1 percent in 2015.
This has nowhere to go but up, because this is a form of in-grouping. As threats increase, so will the desire to find people of similar mind, and form loyal bonds with them, to create a united front and relieve the amygdala-angst. I suspect the idea of everyone being sort of a soldier under the leadership of a God who has supernatural powers to make everything right, also fills a psychological void as the environment becomes more confrontational. There is a reason the Church was never destroyed. Like nationalism, it can wane during r-selected times, but it will always come back.
K is returning, because that is the way of the world. The only unfortunate part is that it appears we will have a real rigor to come, which will be unpleasant, though it will amplify the K incredibly.
Then again how much worse can any rigor be, compared to having witnessed the rise of the Social Justice Warriors and the Obama Administration?
[…] Young In UK Are Turning Christian […]
The “elites” will have to nip this in the bud. They only want easily manipulated Muslim migrants. Christians dare to believe they are subject to a higher authority than their earthly rulers. Can’t have that.
When a church goes PC it is known as “convergence”. It is very important that new / revived Christians not be propagandized by a PC-SJW Church of England. Until Canterbury fixes its PC culture people must be wary of any SJW agitprop. There is nothing Christian about bringing in hordes of foreigners and muslims that will swamp native Christian culture and ultimately destroy it. These immigrants are not “sojourners” or “travellers” mentioned in scripture. They are invaders. The vast majority will not leave willingly. Only force will compel them to leave- or remove them from the population. The rabbits running the Church of England and the UK government will never allow militancy to spring up within Christian ranks in Britain. That militancy would be absolutely required for any future cleansing, internal “Crusade” to rid the islands of invaders.
“not sojourners or travellers…” I’ve made the same point myself. Invaders is the proper word. Well-stated, and, please, keep on stating.
The kind of Christianity that’s spreading unfortunately seems to be the watered-down heretical Christianity that focuses on feelings rather than doctrine; these “feel-good” Churches purposely omit and/or distort Biblical teachings on critical topics like sexual morality, gender roles, and even salvation to fit an r-selected psychology.
The Church of England, for example, heretically ordains women to become “priests” despite the Bible’s clear teachings on the roles of women in the Church and in the household. Legitimate Bible-believing Christians are actually getting banned from the U.K for preaching against homosexuality using verses from Leviticus and Romans 1.
This weak, watered-down Christianity is a sign of r and it’s greatly contrasted with traditional and authentic Christianity.
The article quotes some Church of England functionary – so it isn’t about Christianity, period.
