The Coronation... how diverse could the May 6th service be?

It’s not who you are – even if you’re the King of England – or who participates; it’s what you do – that’s the red line if the Coronation service is to be legally compliant, a church minister says.

In the weeks leading up to the Coronation, there were reports that King Charles and church leaders disagreed about the participation of other faiths, including Muslims, in the Coronation. The King has reportedly expressed a desire for a diverse ceremony – but the Church of England’s ‘Canon Law’ rules restrict what can take place during a Coronation service.

At the time of writing, the order of service had yet to be published; but according to The Daily Telegraph, the planned service will include different faiths.
