The succession of Charles III to the throne has brought the C of E into focus. The ceremony associated with the new King is very much integrated with the C of E which now has a new head. Westminster Abbey becomes the focus of our national attention and Charles is quite open that monarchy is supported by divinity.
The question is with an ever decreasing attendance of C of E services nationally and a decreasing number of people claiming they are a member of an organised religion would it ever be appropriate to consider a separation of church and state? The separation would allow a constitutional monarchy that could be readily related to by all faiths including Catholicism and remove that sense that any member of the total family is heavily pressured to be religious.
