Canterbury Cathedral is set to host the latest Anglian gimmick.
Scarcely a month seems to go by in the United Kingdom without a small scandal relating to a medieval Catholic cathedral sequestrated at the Reformation and now run by the Church of England. The current cathedral custodians in different places have resorted to golf courses, helter skelters, risqué film clubs and gin distilleries.
Now Canterbury Cathedral, built by the Benedictines as the seat of St Augustine, is turning itself into a night club with its forthcoming “rave in the nave”. The Dean, Dr David Monteith, has been honest, although he has talked unconvincingly in terms of “getting the youth into church”.
