George VI was a worthy successor to his rather disgusting older brother Edward.

Prince Charles resembles, in one way, his ancestor George IV, who married a charming socialite, only to see his marriage deteriorate due to the infidelities of both parties.

Good points, both of you. George V also has a similar facial structure, although it’s harder to see behind the tonsorial flourishes. Both of them were quite decent gentlemen ... dull in a *good* way :-).

George IV was in a position similar to Prince Charles’s: he was Crown Prince (and later regent) for so many years, and didn’t take the throne until he was an old man.

“Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori, leader of the Episcopal Church, said in a statement that she has “repeatedly offered to engage in dialogue with those who are most unhappy,” but her offer “has not yet been seriously engaged.”

Lies, all lies.

The Presiding Bishop's "dialogue" consists of vicious litigation directed at anyone who dares to disagree with the Party line.

George VI was small in stature, and a man with no ambition to be king. Not an imposing figure, but a man of courage. They called him “George the Good.” Lucky enough to be married to a good, strong woman. Elizabeth like her mother, and in her day as pretty as a movie star. At the time of her coronation esembled Deborah Kerr. I think.

I’m missing two, somehow . . . < g >

You mustn’t have read Nostradamus Criswell Thackeray’s The Next Four Georges.

LOL! I wrote a paper on Lord Grenville for my American Revolution class in college. The First Four Georges was a main source!

Williams is surely no +Nicholas of Myra who slugged Arius at the Council of Nicea. He is no +Athanasius the Great or +John Chrysostomos who suffered exile and death for their Orthodoxy. He is no champion of Anglican Christianity like countless known and unknown hierarchs and preachers and missionaries and martyrs. What would a bishop like +JC Ryle think of this spineless character? This man is more than a heretic and more heretical than merely the ArchDruid; he's a clown, a pathetic clown worthy only of contempt from "orthodox" (let alone "Orthodox") Christians.

Well put. Williams is a bureaucrat who sucks up to the British elite on whom he is dependent for his job. Like most bureaucrats, his chief concern is to preserve organizational "structure" rather than doctrinal integrity. How characteristic that he is hiring a team of mediation consultants - just to show his masters in the British Labor Party that he is doing something.

Is that William Makepeace's cousin that he never would talk about?

I have some advice for Archbishop Rowan Williams, which he of course will not take: invite Bishop Martyn Minns but not “bishop” “Selfish Gene” Robinson. Repent and embrace orthodox Christianity, or else the Anglican Communion as we have known it goes down the tubes.

I think their facial features are somewhat similar, but really their expression is completely different.

That was an official royal portrait of George VI, that I grabbed in a hurry. Badly painted, and photographed from an awkward angle. This photograph of George VI in his naval uniform is a much better likeness:

If you compare that picture with feckless Charles, you can see the strength of character in his grandfather that he so sadly lacks.

(and I didn't pick a bad picture of Charles on purpose. That is his OFFICIAL photo on the Royal website!)

"V at least looks like a guy!"

Speaking of uncanny resemblances, look at this photo of Georgie and his cousin Nicky (who didn't come to a good end at all)!

Nicholas’s mother Dagmar (Maria Feodorovna, wife of Alexander III of Russia) and Queen Alexandra, George V’s mother, were sisters, daughters of King Christian IX of Denmark.

In my humble opinion it already has, a long time ago. (I have a declared bias in the matter, having departed from ECUSA and the wwAC a quarter-century ago). Too much was compromised in the name of "unity," which simply allowed the American infection to spread to Canada, New Zealand and Mother Church.

The wwAC either needs to reform itself and become what it is not at present, or it will not be worth membership.

“Nicholas’s mother Dagmar (Maria Feodorovna, wife of Alexander III of Russia) and Queen Alexandra, George V’s mother, were sisters, daughters of King Christian IX of Denmark.’

Which, of course, is why Nicky and Georgie were cousins.

I think "propinquity" is a little more polite :-)!

And I still think Charles looks exactly like King George VI, except that the distinctive features are even more distinctive on Charles. He's like a caricature of George!
