With church attendance almost in single figure percentages it seems not. |

Maybe they should force the UK Government to have a church tax... Here in Germany, it is deducted at source and goes straight to the church in your catchment area; although that doesn't stop them passing around the collection dish at mass. As there is no CofE here and I put myself down as atheist, I am exempt.

it's part of the British cultural heritage. it goes further than just being a christian building. Saying that, I went there and it was boring. Also in Canterbury, bought 4 teas and 2 hot chocs in a cafe and got charged £54. What a rip-off place. |

It reminds me of the joke, "£5 if you can understand me £50 if you cant." |
