After Queen Elizabeth’s funeral last year, Saturday’s coronation of King Charles and Queen Camilla was probably the biggest reaching church service of our lifetimes.

We analyze the service theologically and missionally and compare it with the coronation service of Charles’ Mother Queen Elizabeth II.

Is it in any way better theologically and where is it worse? 

• Mark Earngey lectures in Church History at Sydney’s Moore Theological College. 

• Sandy Grant is the Dean of Sydney.  And today is leading three Sunday services at St Andrew’s Cathedral marking the coronation.

• Brett Murphy is Vicar in the parish of St David’s in Broom Leys in Leicestershire in the UK.
