In addition to anglican liturgy, hymns and ethos etc welcomed by Rome, we must now include lots of those lovely wallet-sized portraits of the Supreme Governor of the Church of England.Glenda Loughnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4197204543030756767.post-83817943373475218432011-08-02T20:19:09.474+01:002011-08-02T20:19:09.474+01:00Yes but if it ain't broke,why fix it?
