Question

The Church of England, although an established church, does not receive any direct government support. What indirect support does it get?Keith-264 (talk) 14:43, 6 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Number of cathedrals

The article states that there are 43 cathedrals of the Church of England. I imagine that this number is reached by excluding Gibraltar Cathedral. It would be good for the article to state this explicitly, and for there to be a source saying why Gibraltar is excluded from the number. — Gareth Hughes (talk) 15:47, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Parishes stripped of control in 1976

The following is probably worth mentioning and discussing, here and in other articles. As I don't know anything about it, I can't do it.

In 1976, the C of E stripped its parishes of control of their assets and imposed a tax, a “church share”, on parishioners to support its bishops and overheads. This inevitably crippled local initiative and leadership. I was told the image of a parochial church council is of six people sitting round a table weeping.^[1]

Largest source of income

In the Endowment section, it says that the income from the endowment is the largest source of revenue. In the 'government funding' section it says donations comprise the largest source of income. Surely this can't both be correct. 92.10.153.162 (talk) 07:24, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
