On further reflection. There’s a tendency to hark back to the “good old days”, before wokedom, feminism, liberalism etc. But that is something Scripture really does not encourage us to do (Eccl 7:10). One thing I have learnt from even a cursory understanding of church history is that we have always had to contend with ‘rot’, although its form, obviously, has shifted over time. I include the period of the Magisterial Reformers in that (dare I?); they were battling the Roman church, but had more than a few issues of their own as they did so.
