C of E
This is not church bashing. We can all do that in our own time. This is about the corporate side of the C of E. Some of you may be aware that when a church reaches it's 1000th birthday, there is a small cross carved discretely somewhere known as the 'millenial cross' to signify this extraordinary milestone.

Discreet, modest and everlasting. Classical.

So what did the Corporate whores of the C of E do to celebrate the boss' 2000th birthday? Spanking great purple ovals of plastic, bolted to the outside of the buildings they are supposed to be looking after for us. Like fucking nipple tassles on Michaelangelo's David, they managed to make the churches look like they were vying with Poundland for market share.

These vulgar plastic warts will last, what, 10 years, 20 at most before fading and needing to be ripped down. And fuck knows how much they cost.

I am at best apathetic about the church but every time I see one of those purple excrescences it makes me go a little PCMechanic inside.

Are they strictly CoE
or Churches Together? Have seen them on non-conformist churches too, I think, Still, yes, they are horribly ugly.
