I thought people might like to see this interesting bit of news. Visits to cathedrals in England were up by 1,000,000 people over the last year. I don’t think this is just “tourist heritage” visits. Tiny, baby steps, but I think the English, some of them anyway, are rediscovering their Christian heritage. Cathedrals are an obvious place to start, and they offer a traditional liturgy. I’ve been surprised over the last few years by the number of people I know having their kids christened as well. Not church going folk, standard secular(ish) modern Brits who wouldn’t have thought of it two decades ago. They seem to feel the need to mark their national/cultural/religious territory.

The cathedral in the title picture is Lincoln, consecrated 1092 AD, tallest building in the world 1311-1548 and home of one of the copies of Magna Carta.
