Theism in the Church of England
A “theic” is someone who is addicted to the immoderate use of tea; a tea-drunkard.
Thus, as this guide to tea drinkers’ disease warns:
The predominance of nervous symptoms is a characteristic of theism; general excitation of the functions of the nervous system may be observed; or the weakness may be noted more especially in the brain as distinguished form the spinal cord.
This, of course, explains the present plight of the Church of England: all the vicars are drowning in tea and, with their weakened brains, have abandoned one theism for another.
And how many gay vicars, far from being celibate, in or out of a relationship, are actually “tearoom queens?”
