York, Protestant Cathedral: "The Sixth Canticle"

York Minster is a Gothic cathedral in York, England and is one of the largest of its kind in Northern Europe alongside Cologne Cathedral. The Minster is the seat of the bishop of York, the second-highest office of the Church of England, and is cathedral for the Diocese of York; it is run by a Dean and Chapter under the Dean of York. The formal title of York Minster is The Cathedral and Metropolitan Church of St Peter in York.

The English Reformation led to the first Anglican archbishop, the looting of much of the cathedral's treasures, and the loss of much of the church lands. Under Elizabeth I there was a concerted effort to remove all traces of the Roman Catholic Church from the cathedral; there was much destruction of tombs, windows, and altars. In the English Civil War the city was besieged and fell to the forces of Cromwell in 1644, but Thomas Fairfax prevented any further damage to the cathedral.

This organ is certainly not YORK Minster!

This IS the largest Gothic Cathedral in Europe

@RoyalWeddingRing your forgetting that Prince Charles could choose to be George VII ;-)

Wonderful hymn! Beautiful!

@pipeup1 The Protestant Catholic Faith is Orthodox Lutheran Christianity -- including the 1549 Book of Common Prayer, the Latin 39 Articles of 1571, as well as the Church Catechism of 1548 -- all being subordinate to the Word of God & Book of Concord. True Anglicanism is CONFESSIONALLY & HISTORICALLY LUTHERAN.

Sadly, what passes for modern "Anglicanism" is but heretical whoredom, in competition with Popery, pretending to be Christian.

Will it be King William III or King George VII when his time comes? Whatever happens she will be Queen Catherine!

At the risk of re-awakening this after three months (!) I chose my words carefully below. The C of E is not a Protestant denomination. It is the Reformed Catholic Church which is therefore both Catholic and Protestant. Notice the differance: its subtle yet profound!

@pjdonagh I don't think the evangelical wing of the Church of Englad are a good reference point. Many would not even describe themselves as Anglican!

[pjdonagh]

@foodie65 I both accept and respect the position as summarised by Pipe1 above up to the phrase "but is not a Protestant denomination". I fail to see how you can be Protestant yet not a protestant denomination and I feel sure that the Evangelical wing of the C of E would happily describe themselves as such. Conversely most Protestant denominations (including the 3 you list above) also accept at least the Nicene and Apostles creeds as articles of faith.

[foodie65]

@pjdonagh True. But the ordination oath taken by clergy refers to the catholic church, and the catholic creeds. The position of the Church of England is correctly summarised by Pipe1 above (catholic and reformed). The point I was making in my post is that we in the Church of England don't refer to ourselves as protestants in the way that Lutherans, Baptists and methodists do.
