Creeping back into a tomb-like church for the first time in years, award-winning journalist Cole Moreton found just three old women and a desperate looking priest attempting a Sunday service and was forced to wonder 'when and how did the Church die?'In this fascinating and thought-provoking examination of the Church of England Moreton examines how a disparate set of events has led to the death of an institution that not so long ago defined us as a nation. From the evangelical heyday of the 1980s, when Moreton himself preached to save our souls, to the modern malady of empty pews, he shows how social change, financial bungles and uncovered scandals has led to a mass exodus from the traditional church. In THE LAND OF MAKE BELIEVE Cole Moreton investigates the slow death of the Church of England and asks if it like its founder can be resurrected.
