FOR Christians, Easter is a most important event.
In the 1950s, 60s and early 70s, children of parents, themselves regular churchgoers, attended Sunday school, sang in choirs, were members of church youth organisations, married in church etc etc.
I pose an open question to the leader of the Church of England in the north: why since have these people, brought up to believe in Christian principles, deserted the church in their millions?
And what are his plans to reverse this dramatic decline?
At the moment the church appears totally disinterested as to why pews gather dust on a Sunday.
