#1 so does this make anybody there think again about ending the legal status of the anglican church? Whats the point of an established church if it won't even celebrate the state's victories?

#2 Good question, liberalhawk. But the CofE is a very fondly-regarded piece of the national furniture. It just creaks a bit too much sometimes.

Story link's wrong, should be Telegraph, not BBC.

#3 Fred, have you got that picture of "the boys" shortcutted some place for quick use? This has got to be the fourth or fifth time you've used it. It is a classic.

#4 Perhaps a thanksgiving feast in honor of all the AIDS victims in Africa would be more appropriate for the good Mr Billiams. Buck up John Bull.

#5 Since the left tends to be knee-jerk anti-Christian it amazes me how many clergymen are leftists.

#6 "Since the left tends to be knee-jerk anti-Christian it amazes me how many clergymen are leftists."

Not really. An awful lot of the clergy - especially the politician types that wind up with these ecclesiastic roles as opposed to the ones who work with actual congregations - are also knee-jerk anti-Christian.

#8 It is a lovely pic. Shame you can't see more of Stonehenge in the background though...

#9 I protest! As a descendent of a long line of Druid Priests and Mentors, I demand that no more links be made between honest, straightforward cutthroat Druids and the namby-pamby, luke-warm, dishwater imbibing Anglicans. If they want a fire-and-brimstone sermon of victory, I'll gladly undertake the job, just as soon as my sheet returns from the dry cleaners.
