So if a statement is being made about the Church of
England, who is the media referring to? We are led to
believe it is this monolithic structure, that is
decreasing in membership.  Is this the church you are
familiar with?

Preterism and Dispensationalism are interpretive
techniques, which lead to the various branches of
Escatology, and do not by definition represent any one
particular denomination.  However because
Dispensationalism as it is used today, was started by
Darby, who also help found the Plymouth Brethren Church
which started in the 1830's in Plymouth England, they
are primarily Dispensational!  Now there are many
denominations, which primarily embrace the teachings of
Darby, though some do not identify themselves as Darby
Dispensationalist!

Preterism, similarly is not represented by one
denomination, however many reformed churches which
adhere to an A-mil Eschatology, are very sympathetic to
preterism!  I attend a reformed Presbyterian church
which believes in the current Lordship and Kingdom of
Christ on Earth now, and that we are His ambassadors
here on Earth. Everything we do now, is an extention of
His Lordship! The authority disciples have to speak in
His name, is because of His Kingdom Now on Earth! This
all has to do with preterism, though many who practice
them may not be familiar with preterism per se!

There are many forms of Preterism, and
Dispensationalism, and those distinctions are not
always recognized in these newsgroups! Sort of like my
not understanding that there are many branches of C of
E, from one end of the spectrum to the other. I would
be interested in learning more about the differences in
the C of E. Would you say that the website link you
provide, is representative of which group of the
Anglicans?
