I noticed the Newspaper Headlines recently.
I didn't stop to read the paper but the headline spoke about the Queen possibly no longer being Head of the Church.
Well...
No offence to Her Majesty, because I am not anti-Monarchy, but surely God is the Head of the Church?
As I once said to the Bishop, I am confused by the CofE because the head of the Church should be God, but in the Case of the CofE, they have: God - presumably, and the Queen, and the Archbishop, and 10 Downing Street, etc.
Henry VIII was "Supreme Head of the Church of England" - by his own declaration. Elizabeth I very wisely downgraded that to "Supreme Governor of the Church of England".
ReplyDeleteThank you Tony. The paper definitely said 'Head' And I have heard her referred to as 'Head' of the Church so many times.
ReplyDeleteThank you for pointing this out.
