Doc John says, "But then the Anglican Church has little to do with Jesus." I've seen indications that may no longer be the case. Since participation in the Church is no longer socially required, the Church has been able to focus on the business of religious faith, rather than the business of power and requirement. Micca, that pagan, took me to Southwark Cathedral and gave me the opportunity to talk with a delightful (female) canon there. Ian C. gave me other chances to observe the Church of England, as did Bill Sables (unwittingly), and I had a chance to observe the Church of England at Whitby. I was favorably impressed.

Still, I kinda like the idea of a royal wedding. For us in the colonies, British pageantry is fascinating. I imagine the event will cost far less than an ordinary movie costs nowadays, and yet it will be an event remembered for a generation. It should be great for tourism - which may well be the only viable business enterprise remaining in the British Isles. [I don't really mean that, but it might be interesting to see what kind of a response a remark like that will garner.]
