RE the dispute between the C of E and Marilyn and Tony Cheetham.

Isn't it time the Church of England came into the 21st century? No wonder the churches are empty and many are closing. They live by 19th century rules, by-laws etc.

Why not brighten the graveyards with pictures of beautiful people like Hayley?

Where is the Church of England's compassion to parents who loved their child and were prematurely robbed of her life and love, her ability to bring them grandchildren through no fault of their own?

I was baptised and brought up in the Church of England but now belong to a Pentecostal Church who would show more compassion to people than the Church of England do.
