Coronation ceremony retains traditional Anglican wording and promises
from Religion Media Centre:
King Charles’ coronation will be held on Saturday 6 May 2023, in a religious ceremony at Westminster Abbey, led by the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby. The ceremony is expected to include elements of the traditional service, but will be shorter and on a smaller scale, and is widely expected to be more inclusive of multi-faith Britain. The service will include the King being anointed with holy oil, receiving the orb, coronation ring and sceptre, being crowned with St Edward’s Crown and blessed. He will take an oath to “maintain and preserve inviolably the settlement of the Church of England, and the doctrine worship, discipline, and government thereof, as the law established in England”. Buckingham Palace has confirmed that the King will be crowned alongside the Queen Consort, Camilla.
