Prince Charles SHOCK: Could Prince of Wales AXE part of coronation after Queen's death? - Today New
Prince Charles SHOCK: Could Prince of Wales AXE part of coronation after Queen's death? - Today New Upon the death of Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Charles will become king and, during his coronation service, he will be given the title Defender of the Faith and Supreme Governor of the Church of England”. While Her Majesty the Queen often speaks of the personal significance of her faith, the Prince of Wales is known for his more unconventional approach to religion. In addition to attending a Greek Orthodox retreat every year, he has also displaced the Church of England by talking of his desire to be crowned as “Defender of the Faiths”, and later proposing ”Defender of Faith”, to encompass all religions. The Queen LOVES to gossip about staff's flings at 'IMMORAL Balmoral' How Prince Charles 'BLAMED Prince Philip for FORCING unhappy marriage' BBC Radio 4’s “Beyond Belief”, hosted by Ernie Rea, discussed the religious significance of the coronation service and the Christian underpinnings of the monarchy. The programme, which first aired in 2012, heard from Reverend Dr Judith Maltby, Reader in Church History at the University of Oxford. Rev Dr Maltby said: “One of the interesting things about the history of the coronation service is that it isn’t a static history. “There isn’t one template that has been used over and over again – it gets revised and moderated and modified.” She continued: “I was really struck reading the coronation service recently, I’d completely forgotten that it’s done in the context of a service of holy communion, it’s profoundly Christian.” Mr Rea interjects: “Whether it will be the next time is another issue.” Rev Dr Malty agreed: “That’s exactly the question, I think.” She explained: “There was a non-Anglican Christian representation in the last coronation and indeed in the coronation of Elizabeth’s father. “I can’t see the next coronation not having multi-faith participation, for example.” Host Mr Rea also asks the Reverend: “Can monarchy in the 21st century survive without its religious underpinning?” She replied: “My own view is that it can’t. “When you look at the coronation service, the thing it is most like is an ordination service. “There is something priestly about the monarch.” Royal SHOCK: Could 'defiant' Prince Charles ABDICATE over religion? How William shares Charles & Philip's fear of overcrowding Most recently, the Prince of Wales has said he will retain the monarch's traditional title as Defender of the Faith as King, while ensuring that other people's faiths can also be practised. The title dates from 1544, when it was bestowed on Henry VIII by the Pope before he separated from Rome entirely to form the Church of England. In an interview given to BBC Radio 2 in 2015, the Prince of Wales said that the Church of England's purpose is not to defend Anglicanism to the exclusion of other religions, but rather the Church has a duty to protect the free practice of all faiths in this country. In response, the National Secular Society has called upon Buckingham Palace to redesign the coronation

SUMMARY
=======
The Eastern Orthodox Church, officially the Orthodox Catholic Church, is the second-largest Christian church, with approximately 200–260 million members. As one of the oldest religious institutions in the world, the Orthodox Church has played a prominent role in the history and culture of Eastern and Southeastern Europe, the Caucasus, and the Near East. It operates as a communion of autocephalous churches, each governed by its bishops, called a Holy Synod. The church has no central doctrinal or governance authority analogous to the Catholic pope, but the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople is recognised by all as primus inter pares (first among equals) of the bishops.
Eastern Orthodox theology is based on the Nicene Creed, and the church teaches that it is the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic church established by Jesus Christ in his Great Commission, and that its bishops are the successors of Christ's apostles. It maintains that it practices the original Christian faith, passed down by sacred tradition. Its patriarchates, reminiscent of the pentarchy, and autocephalous and autonomous churches reflect a variety of hierarchical organisation. Of its innumerable Sacred Mysteries, it recognises seven major sacraments, of which the Eucharist is the principal one, celebrated liturgically in synaxis. The church teaches that through consecration invoked by a priest the sacrificial bread and wine become the body and blood of Christ. The Virgin Mary is venerated in the Eastern Orthodox Church as the Mother of God, honoured in devotions.
The Eastern Orthodox Church shared communion with the Roman Catholic Church until the East–West Schism in AD 1054, triggered by disputes over doctrine, especially the authority of the Pope. Before the Council of Chalcedon in AD 451, Oriental Orthodox churches also shared in this communion, separating primarily over differences in Christology.
The majority of Eastern Orthodox Christians live in Eastern Europe, Greece, and the Caucasus, with smaller communities in the former Byzantine regions of the eastern Mediterranean, Africa, and to a decreasing degree also in the Middle East due to persecution. There are also many in other parts of the world, formed through diaspora, conversions, and missionary activity.
