Disestablishment - christiansquoting.org.uk

An impetuous maiden named Marion,
An antidisestablishmentarian,
Took a rabbit, a bear
And a pig to the fair,
And posed as a veterinarian.
Without honesty, trust, faithfulness to an obligation, respect for the rights and interests of others and love of neighbour, civilised society falls apart. I believe that process would become all the more pronounced in a society that abandoned its historic spiritual framework in favour of an avowedly secular one. - George Carey 23 Apr 2002

The minimal nature of the Anglican establishment, its relative openness to other denominations and faiths seeking a public space and the fact that its very existence is an ongoing acknowledgement of the public character of religion are all reasons why it may seem far less intimidating to the minority faiths than a triumphal secularism

The main motive for disestablishment, as we meet it in the press and elsewhere, is of course the old secularist agenda, coming from those who are offended that the Enlightenment hasn't been able to have its way with every area of society. When people argue that we live in a religiously plural society, they usually don't actually want to take those religions seriously; they are just repeating another bit of Enlightenment rhetoric, that there are so many religions that all are equally irrelevant. In fact, though of course non-Christian faiths must be taken seriously, they still only represent a tiny minority of people in this country. And there is good evidence that many leaders of Jewish and Muslim communities are much happier that Christianity is the established religion than they would be if secularism were to replace it. The Jews in particular know what that might mean - N. T. Wright, GOD AND CAESAR, THEN AND NOW, Lecture:, Monday 22 April 2002
