I am personally not a Christian, David, and my English family comes from the Wesleyan/Methodists, but I have often wondered if the original English Church could be resuscitated for those who are and who have lost the heritage of this original church. Do you know anything about his venture?

I will have to look this up. That is a poser but try this - Interview with Fr Andrew Phillips (St John the Wonderworker Orthodox Church – Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia)

Andrew Phillips - OrthodoxWiki

He makes an interesting point in the Q & A about reviving local saints. I am loathe to involve others in this sort of thing for fear of misrepresenting anyone but Populist Lee should know about father Phillips. I hope he can tell us something of his ideas about the Anglo Saxon church.
The Rev.John Lovejoy, who wrote "The Deculturalisation of the English People," has similar views.

Yes, I understand your hesitancy in terms of the Anglo-Norse Heathen community, the Druidic pagans and the atheists, but an actual Anglo-Saxon Church did exist and was not connected to Rome and could flourish again, although I would never support any theocratic connection of Church and State. This just doesn't suit the modern world (and why repeat the dreadful fiasco of the past or emulate the Islamic theocracies), but there may be scope for Christians to form a renewed unit of their old church as many of them are fed up with all the political correctness and secularity that has invaded the extant varieties. :-)
