I had an interesting experience this week.

I was driving somewhere in the morning and stopped in traffic opposite a medievil looking church. i don't know how old it was but it looked the archetypal Cof E church. It was well maintained and incongruous in the suburban environment.

The entrance from the road was a chraming wooden gate and above the gate was a beautiful small bran rood type contruction supported by wonderful old timbers.

On the front of this gate construction ('a lytch gate') where the words:

'Built for the glory of.................@ and I expected to read.........'God'.

But it said: 'Built for the glory of Edward VIII'.

Now this got me thinking about the role of the established church in the UK and the monarchy.

Does the C of E worship God? Or does it worship the queen and the establishment?

Consider the diamond jubilee and the style of 'governance' by the queen. Does she not reign like a distant aloof God?

Was not the diamond jubilee a form of worship, of the very worst kind. The kind that the media complained of at the genuine grief that people felt over the murder of Diana?

How many people who purport to be Christian or believe in God have as much devotion for God as they appear to have for the queen?

As I have said before, the philosophical, moral and ethical values of the teachings of Christ are second to none and are worth following for that alone.

Yert in the all the Christian Churches, his teaching are buried and suppressed while racism, greed, selfishness, turning a blind eye to illegal wars and war crimes is permitted.

So as Christians are we going to allow our faith to be perverted and smothered, so we become manipulated into becoming cold hard and cynical people?

Or are we going to embrace the core values of Christianity and return to Gods loving embrace?
