Will there be a Christian King Charles 3rd?
by Gavin Ashenden:
On of the many reasons I like twitter is for the jokes. “Why should anyone take any notice of the National Secular Society?” someone asked this morning. “It’s only two old blokes and laptop.”
In fact that’s only half true. The National Secular Society won’t disclose its membership. But it gets a disproportionate amount of time because it can rely on the BBC with its clumsy editorial policy of ‘balancing’ opposite points of view-irrespective of their merits or numbers they represent, to give it airtime.
You can tell when the old secular blokes and the laptop are feeling unloved and unnoticed; that’s the moment when they put out their latest call for the disestablishment of the Church of England.
The which they have just done today. Perhaps they were miffed by the Queen speaking out increasingly forthrightly in her Christmas messages. This year she said movingly and memorably
“And yet, billions of people now follow (Jesus) ..and find in him the guiding light for their lives. I am one of them because Christ’s example helps me see the value of doing small things with great love.”
But whether or not it was the Queen as head of state talking about Jesus or boredom, they have released another report.
