Well, last time I visited England, I was appalled at being forced to pay admission (not optional) to enter Canterbury Cathedral on a weekday. It was being treated like a museum. And while I was glad to find a candle and memorial plaque at the site of what was once the shrine of Thomas Becket, I was told by my friend that I was the only person he saw in the cathedral that day who dropped to his knees to pray. I know that it is a great irony, today, that far more Catholics in England attend church than do Anglicans. Maybe it’s time to give them their cathedrals back. They built them.

I lived in England for a while and what is truly scary is that there are now moreMuslims attending prayers on Friday than Anglicans attending Church on Sunday.
