Net zero targets are killing off the Church of England, clergy and wardens have warned.

Access to new oil or gas boilers has been restricted under a Church of England commitment to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2030.

A Telegraph investigation can reveal that the policy has left dozens of churches in the cold for months on end, with rural churches bearing the brunt of the policy.

Priests and wardens have warned that the green energy drive is putting parishioners’ health at risk, driving down church attendance and causing damp to rot historic buildings.

I'll bet mosques would never reject having a new boiler. **nononono*

The Church of England committed suicide years ago.  It's nothing more than a zombie that hasn't quite finished falling to pieces yet.

I wouldn't be surprised if "King" Charles at some point converts Britain from the CofE to islam...
