As many of you will know we are fast approaching Easter, the season where many Christians celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Easter signifies the Biblical and historical claim that Jesus truly came back to life in a bodily resurrection after He was put to death by crucifixion in Jerusalem 2000 years ago.

According to St Paul, without this resurrection, faith in Jesus Christ is useless. 1 Corinthians 15; 14.

You may say, what has all this got to do with the disestablishment of the Church of England? Well, the answer is a matter of timing since this week we heard claims that individuals from the green party are wanting to disestablish the Church of England.

Curious don’t you think that these claims should be made during the run up to Easter?

We saw this type of thing back in Easter 2018 when the archbishop of Wales made untimely claims about the resurrection and now in 2026 we are hearing claims that the Church of England could be disestablished if individuals from the green party get their way.

It’s the same old story, attack Christianity but leave the other religions alone.

It comes as no surprise to me that people are wanting to see the C of E separated from the state. Every other week we are hearing reports about false leaders in the C of E who are clearly none of Christ. It is clear to me that the Church of England has many enemies of the true gospel who are firmly planted within its man centred walls. While at the same time there are many faithful and Godly ministers who have chosen to remain. Although I am no longer part of the C of E I spent many years experiencing its reality first hand. There are clearly bishops who have unmovably fixed themselves on a trajectory to destroy the historic position of the Church of England as we have known it for many centuries. Now we are seeing further attacks upon the one established church that if brought to pass, could be either a divine judgement upon the church or simply part of a greater human agenda to bring down Christianity in England and replace it with either secularism or another religion.

Maybe secularism is a religion?

Either way, this destructive agenda is not going to stop. Jesus speaks about His enemies throughout the gospels and although I firmly believe that His Church will never come to an end and I don’t necessarily believe the New Testament agrees with any established church. The early Church of the New Testament was a house movement and I affirm with certainty that the Church which Christ established is a rock that became a mountain as mentioned in my article on the subject. Thus when Jesus said “I will build My Church, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it” (Matthew 16: 18. NKJV) I absolutely believe those words are truth. Thus, that is what the enemies of Christ do not have, be they bishops or unbelievers, they do not have truth on their side.

Likewise, the historic validity of the resurrection of Jesus Christ is as sure as the earth is real and on that matter, you can read my article here.

But the question remains, should the Church of England be disestablished? It is a matter of great intrigue to me since there is no established Church in the New Testament. But that doesn’t mean that Christ intended it to remain that way. Christianity has universally grown since it was first planted in Jerusalem 2000 years ago. Likewise, the Church will continue to grow in England regardless of the establishment.

I think back to the days of the great awakenings when the Wesley brothers John and Charles took the gospel out from within the walls of the established Church and into the fields and the streets. This could happen again in a big way. There is no supressing the divine truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, it will continue no matter what men may say and His church will never come to an end, with or without an established Church.
