Aahhh, family traditions.

Just curious, it seems the Royal Family went to St. Mary Magdalene church and most of their names are from the Saints. What Faith are they? I had heard one of the princes? often visits Mt. Athos. Is there the outside chance of England becoming Orthodox again?

Dear Paul,

They are all Anglican, indeed the Queen is a very good example of the very best type of Anglican - a life dedicated to her people and consecrated to duty. Prince Philip was born into an Orthodox family, but became an Anglican before he married. Prince Charles definitely has an interest in Orthodoxy, but then so he does in New Age cults and Islam, so I guess one would have to say he was not untypical of a man of his generation.

It would be good to think that England might yet once more become Orthodox, and who knows. the Royal Family may yet have a role to play, but one suspects that it will be a long process.

In Christ,

John
