The Church of England is to issue a formal apology to Charles Darwin for rejecting his theory of evolution almost 150 years ago.  I’m kind of impressed by this, actually.  It probably won’t help the radicals come to grips with their prejudice, but it’s a nice gesture that might help to push things back towards sanity.  Any shift in that direction, however slight, is a welcome change these days.

Opposition to evolutionary theories is still “a litmus test of faithfulness” for some Christian movements, the Church will admit. It will say that such attitudes owe much to a fear of perceived threats to Christianity.

Huh, ya think?

We have talked about the Church of England before.  They seem remarkably progressive for a church….
