"A bishop has warned his flock that the church is the area is facing a financial “death spiral” unless parishioners put more money in the offering plate.
Churchgoers in Truro diocese, which spans Cornwall and the Scilly Isles, were told that its reserves will run out in the next two years unless parishes can find ways of boosting their income.
The Rt Rev Christopher Goldsmith, the Bishop of St Germans, said the church in the area already spends less per head on outreach work and maintaining its buildings than any other diocese in England and so cannot rely simply on cuts to shore up its finances.
If the trend continues it would be thrown into a crisis from which it might never recover, he warned."

Englannin kirkolta on taloudellinen pohja tipahtamassa lähivuosina. Piispa uhkaa jo lopullisella kirkon tuholla, jos seurakuntalaiset ei ala lahjoittaa lisää rahaa. Ei mene enää montaakaan vuotta, kun Suomen evlut kirkko alkaa parkumaan samaa virttä.

Sama trendi lähes kaikissa länsimaissa. Hieno juttu!
"... its reserves will run out in the next two years..."
