The Groves Report

The Groves Report, officially known as the "Report of the Committee of Inquiry into the State of the English Church", was published in 1957. It examined the issues facing the Church of England, highlighting problems such as declining attendance and financial difficulties. The report called for reforms to modernize church practices and improve engagement with communities. It aimed to address the gap between traditional church values and contemporary society, advocating for a more relevant and accessible church. Overall, it sought to revitalize the Church of England in a rapidly changing post-war society.
