Not to Be Served , but to Serve.

Isn't nhs on a crisis? Less money on education?
Meanwhile, there is a coronation - those funds have much better purposes

I read that the entire cost of the Coronation would fund the NHS for 5 hours.
I dont know how true that is.

Yes Diana said much !

Really fancythat just shows how expensive the NHS costs to run.

Just did the maths myself.
Using google figures.
It appears to be correct.

I had no idea that the NHS costs so much fancythat no wonder it's often described as a bottomless pit.

I had no idea either.

If I were King or Queen I'd have a weekly audience with my elected Prime Minister which is what the Head of a Constitutional Democracy does.

I thought the late queen did that, and I assumed that Charles would continue the practice.

Yes, he will.

I'm not sure some people understand what a Constitutional Monarchy is, though.
We do not have an Absolute Monarchy in this country.

Why complain that as Charles is divorced he shouldn't be head of the C of E?

It has always been possible for a couple to separate and live apart as though they were not married. Divorce is just a way to do that as a permanent legality.

What was not accepted by the church until recently was to marry another while the first spouse was still alive. Charles didn't remarry until well after his divorced wife had died.

Yes and that was 18 years ago Elegran which shows how things have progressed.

copied and pasted

Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles will apologise for their sins and wickedness and ask for forgiveness at their marriage ceremony, 34 years and two failed marriages after they first fell in love.

But it is a significant move by the couple who chose a forceful passage of penitence from the traditional 1662 Book of Common Prayer, rather than a softer modern reading, to seal their union before God.

Well I never knew that lemsip. Certainly shows their desire to 'be right' with God.

it's in the new book about the king so I googled it for truth and sure enough there is lots about the passage used.

I got the book from the library, wouldn't pay money for it.

Who wrote the book ?

I think most people understand we don't have an absolute monarchy.

Robert Jobson.

The King's commitment to serve, rather than be served, was straight from the ethos of his late mother Queen Elizabeth. Yes, it is Christian in nature but I recall she stated as a young Princess that her whole life would be dedicated to service - and so it was.

Thank you lemsip

I did say some

It's quite surprising.

The advice given to the clergy about remarriage would probably rule Charles and Camilla out

Would the effects of the proposed marriage on individuals, the wider community
and the Church be such as to undermine the credibility of the Church’s witness to marriage?
 Would the new marriage be likely to be a cause of hostile public comment or scandal?
(e) Would permitting the new marriage be tantamount to consecrating an old infidelity?
 While it would be unreasonable to expect that the couple should not even have known
each other during the former marriage(s), was the relationship between the applicants – so
far as you can tell from the information made available to you - a direct cause of the
breakdown of the former marriage?

Whoops on all of them!!!!

They weren’t married in church. They had a civil ceremony.

Indeed, Saetana. Both the late Queen and Prince Charles were and are devoted to their Christian duty to serve others before themselves.

This entirely good aspiration, the King would find easier to accomplish if the Church of England were disestablished and thence could advise him without prejudice.

Whoops Glorianny

Their marriage was blessed in church

Do you have a link to that advice, please? Does the general public have knowledge of it or was it private?
Probably is very vague and could mean anything at all.

It could just mean "I think that"
