What has the Church of England ever done for us?

Often I find people a little negative about the Church of England because it has SO much history and sometimes rather too much baggage and yet we sometimes forget all the GOOD stuff that goes with years of wisdom and experience; rich liturgy, beautiful, buildings, inspiring music and deep-rooted community engagement that is so deep we don't always see it.

Reminds me of this clip which I used to use in my history class... perhaps it should have featured in the confirmation course!!

History Matters

For those of you who look out for the odd bit of history cropping up on here...

I've recently signed up with wikipedia as I've noticed that the content on there now is actually getting pretty good. I think people with more knowledge have been contributing so the sum total of each of the "what I know is" has improved and increased. As it's now improved, I've contributed to some of the pages on the Merovingian saints I studied for my PhD and have also added links to a few of the translations I did which I've put online over at my Latinblog.
