09/08/22 PASSING INTO DARKNESS

Seeing the Biblically based ceremony of The Church of England, associated with Coronation, royal weddings and funerals, and Vespers at Saint Paul's Cathedral, showcases the beauty of Christian liturgy (prayers, hymns, confessions, Scripture readings) but it is also a reminder that religions and nations which have historic connections with the Christian faith, have exchanged Christ for dead formality.

I remember Prince Charles declaring the validity of Islam within the last decade or two. Remember, the Monarch of England is supposed to be the Defender of the Faith. Though he was not King he was in line for the throne. England, Great Britain, The United Kingdom and The Church of England have long since abandoned and betrayed the cross.

We will probably never see an English Monarch as friendly to the gospel as Queen Elizabeth II.
