To "dress down" or get rid of miters, but still want to hold on to 26 unelected seats in Parliament for (Anglican) bishops (giving them state power internally in the British "Congress"), doesn't say much for the Anglian church's desire to burst its narrow bubble of self-reference, especially when only 17% of the public identifies as Anglican in recent polls. Indeed, getting rid of miters looks more like the desperate act of a religious group in its last stage.
