Happy Guy Fawkes' night!

By the time of the revolution however, it was primarily Anglican.

Possibly. Did it have any sectarian anti-Papist connotations?

Aren't there actually more Catholics than Anglicans in Great Britain now?

And than a guy put something between to slices of bread and called it a sandwitch.

Oddly enough, his name was Mr. Sandwitch.

Attending church on a regular basis, yes. 1.5m compared to 1.2m, if I remember rightly.

His name was nothing of the sort. He was however, Earl of Sandwich, from whence the name for the foodproduct originated.



There may be more Catholics attending church, but only cos Anglicans are all out feeding the poor on Sunday mornings, and doing proper Christian stuff.

[Sandman]

Yes, like lying in 'til 3pm and going to Tesco. Religion is wonderfully dead in Britain.

I didn't know that! More practicing Catholics than practicing Anglicans in Britain.

That can't be good for the Anglican church.

Why is it either/or?

Surely you can find time to help people throughout the week, while going to church on Sundays.

Hardly. There are millions of non-churchgoing Anglicans. If you stay on mainland Britain and study hospital consent forms, I believe that in the "your religion" question the answers for "C of E" outnumber the Catholics by at least 10 to 1.

Guy Fawkes is good times.

No. Muslim mosque attendance is about 1m. At least I think it is. Britain has about 1.6m people who claim to be Muslim, according to the last census.

Hmm? Oh, I do neither. I agree with Laz and Sandman.

Sort of a ...

While I went to church on Sunday, that was my first and presumably last time. I didn't feel anything. I went with a Christian friend who was visiting for the weekend, and since he was accompanying us in our domain (ie on a Saturday night out), I thought I would accompany him on his.

This week, I gave blood, and took aspirin of a suicidal friend after he caused £80 damage.. Oh well, such is life!
