Latest Anglican antics: corporate sponsorship.

To be fair, this is pretty old. One of the things that cracked me up when I visited Boston was going on the Freedom Trail walk and visiting a pre-revolutionary Anglican/Calvinist chapel. Being Calvinist, it was utterly scrubbed bare of any imagery pertaining to Jesus, Our Lady, the apostles, etc. That’s “idolatry” doncha know. However, being Anglican, it honored and commemorated the various local bourgeoisie who had built and furnished the place over the years. So you wind up with a chapel that has no religious art, but is chockablock with statues and busts of rich men. A perfect parable for the historical trajectory of post-schism England. Now we’ve got an Episcopal organization that wants corporate logos stickered all over it like a NASCAR race. Classy!
