Charles plans to defend Faith

In a bid to reflect Britain's multicultural modern society, Prince Charles is proposing to adopt the title of "Defender of Faith" when he becomes king instead of the traditional "Defender of the Faith".

The Prince of Wales, who attended a concert and dinner to mark his 60th birthday at Buckingham Palace last week, caused controversy within the Anglican church when he floated the idea several years ago of becoming Defender of the Faiths in an attempt to embrace the other religions.

In a compromise, he has opted for Defender of Faith, which he hopes will unite the different strands of society, and their beliefs, at his coronation, The Age says.

Such are the times in which we live. Why do I think that Christianity will be the faith that he defends the least? Just sayin'.....

It is the earnest hope and may I say prayer of many people that Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will "live long and prosper" like her mother did. If she does, she just may outlive "Chuckles" and perhaps Prince William may succeed HM.

You may have guessed I have a lot of respect for the Queen but now for her eldest son.

I can't see the Queen handing the crown over to Charles. To one of his sons probably but not Charles.

No one seems to have alot of faith in Charles, but we don't really know William. He was raised by a pretty liberal mother. He may be the one we should be concerned about.

I have a problem taking Charles seriously. If his own mother doesn't think he's ready to rule....:twitch
