Sorry. I meant my second point, which is the next sentence after the one you quoted. The third sentence. But it doesn't matter. I know you saw it.

I think we are in agreement. The next step, if the service isn't being supplied, is to take your business elsewhere.

The religion is the religion. It's not going to adapt to the modern times. It's a constant. It's not going to change.

The government is saving a buck by outsourcing some services to a cheap service provider. The provider is not providing the services the government wants the way it wants them. The service provider isn't going to change. The government has 2 choices. Continue with the provider anyway, or stop using the provider. If they stop using the provider, the costs will go up.

I dunno. The Church of England has proved pretty adaptable.
Women vicars, gay clergy etc.
