I think that your outraged shrieks about the Church of England really personified what the Church of England really is.
Your tweet was so immature, so arrogant, so incorrect, a representation of the REAL Church of England. I am sure your breeding and education means that ignorance cannot be used as an excuse, and I am sure that this letter will be within your understanding.
The use of the word 'Humble' for the Church's 'Good Works' which are advertised proudly and incessantly in every local, national and international press, or were until recently when it became apparent that the press and public were sick to the eye teeth of the C of E stroking themselves, made your use of the term hilarious. 'Humbled' is a word routinely used by incoming and departing Bishops/Archbishops equally hilariously, but the Church's use of such words ad nauseaum exhausts those words.
The Church's 'Good Works' are carried out equally by secular and other denomination churches without the level of pride and publicity that the C of E forces on the general public, and currently there is a situation with a rapidly declining congregation being forced out by the behaviour of the senior leaders. This is not an illusion or a joke, as you will see if you read the increasing concerns of the general public as expressed on the comments section of the articles published by the church, examples include 1300 comments on the Daily Mail's article, these may be the 'common people' who you look down on from your lofty height and try to shame as you tried to 'shame' me this morning with what you think is an infallible boast about 'helping people' this is 1300 members of the general public who your 'humble works' claim to help, and they are not alone, similar on the Daily Telegraph and other news articles of recent. So, do you think that these thousands of ordinary people are wrong? Have your 'humble works' helped them? It is hard to write because your archaic attitude is leaving me giggling, which isn't manly at all. The gap between the self-holy C of E and the real world and people of the UK is one of the greatest wonders and illusions of our time.
The Church of England are down to their last bastions of useless press reporting, the Mail and the Guardian, who seem to report Welby's madness for ridicule rather than news now, so many didn't even headline the Archbishops' show yesterday/today. Read what the general public are saying, even if Lambeth Palace have been hiding the hundreds of letters, emails and phone calls of complaint about the behaviour of the Archbishops and Church:

The C of E's divide and conquer approach means that they do as you have done today in your tantrum, tried to place the blame on me. Place the blame on the whole of the population, when you have heard their opinion! The C of E is a one-way street of incessant public shows and ignorance of public opinion. When Rowan Williams was in power, the comments sections above would have contained a few positives, now you are trying to stamp me out when in total, probably 5,000 commentors on the articles above agree with me, and they are valid and thinking people, you cannot stamp me, us out, if the C of E want to play, they need to listen to the response. The divide and conquer singling out critics is how the Church of England destroy vulnerable abuse victims who have no support in a country where the church's 'humble good works' infiltrate all support services and authorities for the church's own uses, ie for cover-up.
Tell me, what is a human life worth? How much is the destroyed life of Anglican abuse victim worth against the lives of those 'helped' by the Anglicans, and how many 'helped', I am speaking from experience now, pay the Anglican price for that help? If you don't know what I mean, then maybe you shouldn't make the kind of proud and blind statement that you made on twitter this morning.
If I as a representative of abuse victims who have been seriously harmed by the Anglican church, including those left dead, homeless, ruined or silenced, offer an equation, a life lost is worth 10,000 helped, so if we go for the hundreds of abuse victims ruined, destroyed, dead, homeless, suffering intolerably for life, the C of E is in serious debt. Bluster about safeguarding when the C of E's safeguarding gatekeepers actively aid the C of E in cover-up is not an acceptable excuse. Considering the level of abuse by Anglican priests and laity, and the very serious involvement by Anglican leaders, never mind 'humble works' in the UK, each Anglican involvement is a safeguarding risk, the situation with schools is ludicrous, and from experience, Anglicans going abroad for 'humble works' are a serious risk and from experience have used their trips to poor countries where children are very vulnerable, for despicable acts that are not easy for the citizens of those countries to bring to justice. While we see the daily boasts of the Church of England in the media, we do not see the full extent of the abuse and criminal misconduct, which makes the carpet so bumpy that it can no longer be hidden, unless you can disprove this, your behaviour towards me on twitter is completely unjustified.
The current situation is that the people of England think, this is not the dark ages where you and your peers are unquestioned in your lofty height and are met with complicity and submission. The churches are emptying because the Church of England has very little to do with Christianity and those who truly seek Christianity are doing so elsewhere, the elderly who cannot leave the church are not a strong enough reason for it to continue to exist, nor are you and your powerful and wealthy colleagues who use the church - as you displayed on twitter - as an ego-stroking, conscience soothing machine, you feel really really good about yourselves for your virtue-signalling and pride in the 'good works' of the Church of England, but what was the headline once the church had stopped boasting about closing their doors, as if no one else had to? Hiding their valuables in the Tower of London, very proud, as if that was justified at the time that they most needed to sell all they owned and give it to the poor as required by Jesus. How many people did the C of E help during the crisis? They did nothing but make empty noise in the press, wasting time and funds that should have been used to help others.
The Church of England has 7 billion in assets, why is that not being sold to do as Jesus commanded? Why is the Church a massive top haven for the rich and powerful, while the Churches are a graveyard and sparse congregations of elderly people? Is it because of the church's 'humble works'? I admit I wondered if you were delusional or really believed such wild and arrogant propaganda. That time of false illusion being used to protect the C of E is pretty much over, you won't mislead many. Your hysterical reaction to me was in itself unchristian, arrogant and with the trademark C of E defense of the indefensible by illogical reasoning. The 'good works' that Jesus told people to do only modestly and not for show or acclaim, are a passing nod at Christianity which no longer exists in the C of E. Satan would be proud of you, my dear, indeed he is proud of his 'Church of England' from the Godless Name to the Godless behaviour, the pride, the arrogance, the lies, the showing off, the way you saw my criticism as something that you from your lofty position could attack, scorn, destroy. Until the Church that you represent is truly humbled, and does 'good works' on the same level as the rest of us, it is worthless, from the dark ages.
The Lent farce of Making elderly congregations talk about being environmentally aware for lent as a nationwide local media stunt says it all. Or are Mr Welby's ridiculous efforts to make us carry sins that are a) between us and God or b) not our sins, when God has forgiven us if we truly repent, a better example? While Mr Welby, yourself and others don't repent, don't sell all you own to give to the poor, you do not represent God, Christ, or the Church to us and you are in no position whatsoever to try to criticize me or make judgement. One of the things the Church of England rely on is no follow up or investigation of their press and media doings, no investigations, no facts or figures, remaining unregulated, lawless, and with a vain see-through show of social justice, not Christianity, that illusion has long since been abandoned. When the Church of England is under regulation so that the evil doesn't outweigh the good, you can be proud. Until then you sound like a petulant four year old.
Do you think that the plebs and atheists and other denominations do not do good works? Because in all, they outweigh the good works of the C of E 100:1. Despite your huge pride, the C of E would not be missed and the gaps would rapidly be filled. My own lifelong work in the voluntary sector has been within the C of E, seeing the price they extract from their vulnerable clients as well as their unchristian pride and self-stroking for each vulnerable life interfered with and harmed, and my voluntary work continued after the CofE when the decline became alarming during the past decade.
The new Archbishop of York has been notorious for swearing at his clergy, for alienating his clergy, for behaving in offensive ways. It is small wonder that the Archbishop of Canterbury sings his praise, they are both Godless and cruel and deceitful men, the Archbishop of Canterbury's unresolved conscience for his serious and unjudged wrongdoing spilling over into the press and his efforts to force the general public to to become carriers of his conscience is offensive to me and others, if you find my response to that offensive, then find yourself a less lawless and cruel and delusional organisation to work for and try to defend. Paying lip service to Christ does not make anyone or any body Christian, and good works for Christ can be judged by Christ, not proud wealthy Baronesses in a 'Church for the elite'. You have effectively yet again cancelled out the 'good works' of the Church of England by your frantic defensive boasting and shown your total ignorance for the supposed purpose of the Church. Your flailing would possibly work on someone ignorant of theology, which is another thing being relied on by the badly behaved leaders of the church who no longer teach or understand theology, but as a former Anglican and a Believer myself, of the True God, not the 'England' God that your organisation is dedicated to, I can answer back.
You are one of the reasons that the Anglican Church is declining and ridiculed, but don't bully too many people in your efforts to be right and to defend the indefensible, it reflects badly on you.
I will post this letter on my blog.
Yours in Christ,
Mr John Carter
