Silence is deafening!

Still no reply to my e-mails to the Bishop of Tonbridge and the Tonbridge Archdeacon concerning the disgraceful decision to allow Church in Society to go to the wall.

I have perused the Church in Society website, the Rochester Diocese website and the diocesan newsletter. Not a word concerning the imminent demise of Church in Society.

The decision to let Church in Society sink into oblivion when there are so many social problems in Kent, well-documented in the story in last Friday's Tunbridge Wells Courier about the problems faced by poor families, is a disgrace. More than that, it is shameful

The Church of England has a fine tradition of supporting the poor, the oppressed and the downtrodden. Robert Runcie, Hugh Montefiore, David Sheppard and William Temple must be spinning in their graves at the speed of turbines at the antics of the Church of England in Kent.

Once the church had lions roaring against social injustice, now we have mute mice.
