King not to give a Christian Easter message

the great unwashed.
😲 Can you see me? Sitting here in my dressing gown, having a ☕ before I go for a shower?

Ha ha! Fake news designed to stir up the great unwashed.

he is such a rebel

talking of churches and Christianity though...there are new churches here that meet in insanely big buildings/places and 100s and 100s people rock up on a Sunday mid morning. I have never seen anything like it! There is one at the local LARGE Secondary school and the car park overflows and people walk there too. Yet the village I live by hardly has anyone turn up at their traditional Anglican church

The Baptists (all types) and the evangelicals, smaller congregations but still quite busy

Can't tell you anything about the Catholics as I don't near or pass any on a Sunday

Deedaa

This is GB News pressing all the right buttons by telling people the King has cancelled something that didn't exist. The Bank of England cancelling Churchill must have run out of steam, but the labelling Marmalade as Citrus Marmalade is waiting in the wings. Just as well we haven't got any real problems to worry about.

thanks Deeda totally agree, ways to wind people up in the wrong way. Times change, I've never been a Royalist but it's not a great moment to have become King, I think Charles is doing well.

Am I bovered??

For those who wish to have a religious message on Easter Sunday, I think the Pope sends one to the world from Saint Peter's Square. ✨️ 🌎 ✨️

An easter message isn't a tradition. Charles did a message last year which was multicultural but the late queen only did one and that was during covid.

There is the answer.

Deeda excellent response.

Everything will be shut on Easter Sunday, to be honest I wish that happened more regularly and I am an atheist.

A bit of a storm in a teacup. The King hasn’t snubbed the Christian faith. Now we can all sleep easily in our beds.

Phew!!

Where I am staying the Good Friday offering is a pub crawl.

I remember when everything shut and we had to sit at home feeling sad for the entire day.

Phew!!

Camilla was with Charles at the Maundy Money service.

I don’t know if she helped him dole out the purses.

As well as the traditional money, there was a special coin to commemorate the late Queen’s 100th birthday, (or what would have been).

So this year’s recipients got a bonus.

Christianity isn,t what it was

Christianity is still the same.

It's people who change!

Has there ever been an Easter message?
No, not traditionally but Charles has done so since he came to the throne.

Usually the Monarch hands out Maundy Money on Maundy Thursday, which Charles did yesterday at St Asaph Cathedral.

Nothing has been cancelled.
Non story 🙈

No big deal. It would be more significant if he didn’t attend church on Sunday.

I read he did a Christian one last year.

Has there ever been an Easter message?
I didn,t know it was a thing.

I wouldn’t have given it a second thought if I hadn’t spotted the OP. 🤔🤔

I don’t remember an Easter message ritual and am not bothered.

If it hadn't been in the news I wouldn't have known...

Same here paddyann

Christianity isn,t what it was
churches in my area. are closing or amalgamating because congregations have dwindled to 20 or less for Sunday services.
Even weddings are held in hotels or outdoors.
Funerals are in the crematorium.
