Trailer - The Crown Uncovered
from The Church Uncovered Hosted by Emily Kolltveit
A Podcast for those interested in the religious significance and history of the English Coronation Service. Produced by Emily Kolltveit The English Coronation Rite is the only remaining anointing ritual of a Christian monarch. The ceremonies which attend the crowning of English Kings date from before the Norman Conquest, and despite huge changes in society, the state and the Church, they persist. The Archbishop of Canterbury presides over an event of particular holiness. Two Anglican clergy will host interviews with specialists in the fields of Biblical Studies and Liturgy, as well as friends from other faith traditions, to explore the significance of this rite in the past and for the present. Dr Anders Bergquist is a Theologian, Church Historian and Liturgist who is consultant to the Church of England's Liturgical Commission. He is parish priest of St John's Wood. William Gulliford is a parish priest in London and Director of Ordinands for the Diocese in Europe. He will be commentating for French TV Station TF1, on 6 May, for the Coronation of King Charles III. While sharing an interest in this rite and coming from much the same part of the Church of England they have interestingly differing perspectives on the rite. They are looking forward to meeting with their guests and exploring some of the questions which surround this rite in terms of the evolving history and contemporary significance. Support the show
