The Anglican Church in the 40s

I was ordained in the mid-70s when I slightly delayed because I was doing my doctorate. But I was ordained Deaconan 75, preached in 76. So I'm coming up to my 40th anniversary. Did you have any idea what the church or part of the Anglican church would look like today? What the particular issues, particularly? Nobody saw coming what we have had over the last generation or two. Although when you understand where we are now, you can see the roots of it going a long way back.
