Angel de la guardia is "The guard's angel"--not to say that officers of La Guardia don't have guardian angels but, a better translation would be "ángel custodio" or "ángel de la guarda".

As you have stated 'chapel' I assume that you are referring to Christian places of worship as opposed to places of worship in other religions or pre Christian religious sites like Stonehenge or Avebury. It is difficult to define the largest 'chapel' in the UK, as the word 'chapel' can have many different meanings - from a small area inside a larger church set aside for worship and dedicated to a particular saint (eg, a lady chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mary), or a church that is associated with a larger building (eg St George's Chapel in Windsor Castle) or a non-conformist church such as a Baptist Chapel or Methodist Chapel. Since some non-conformist places of worship are called chapels and some churches for no good reason but local custom, to define the largest 'chapel' is almost impossible. However, as for a Christian church - the largest church in the UK, and the largest Anglican church in the world, and the largest place of worship of any modern religion is the Anglican Cathedral of Liverpool. This mammoth building has the highest modern vaulting in the world (Nelson's column in London would just fit underneath it - if you removed Nelson's hat) at 116 feet and also boasts the largest pipe organ in the UK - a mammoth 5-manual instrument of 10,268 pipes, and is regarded as probably the largest fully-operational organ (as opposed to those in the USA that are only partially functioning) in the world. It has the highest (219 feet) and heaviest (31 tons) peal of church bells in the world. The cathderal's length is 619 feet and its floor area 104,275 square feet or nearly 2.4 acres or over two football pitches, and its tower is 331 feet tall.

How many Anglicans are there in England?

Asked by Twitham

This is an interesting question and not too easy to answer as it involves estimation and merging various statistics (stats have been rounded and may not balance). England is the largest part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. It has the largest population and the largest economy. The population of the whole UK was estimated to be approximately 60 million (+/- 1000,000) in 2004 with the population of England being approximately 50 million. According to the Church of England's own 2001 Diocesan Statistics for the Provinces of Canterbury and York the population of England was put at 49,376,000 The 2001 census collected national data relating to religious affiliation but it seems for England & Wales it failed to break data down into denominations thus Catholics, Anglicans, Baptists, Lutherans,etc were grouped together. The total number of people declaring themselves Christian was some 41 million for the UK (72 per cent). The number of declared atheists was 15 per cent and the number of Muslims was 3 per cent. But these are of declared Christians and do not specifically relate to Anglicans. In 2001 an Opinion Research Business Survey showed that over half of adults regarded themselves as being Church of England (C of E)/ Anglican. Since it's not possible to calculate children into these statistics (and as I suspect that they would almost certainly follow the adult pattern) the general population can be halved to give an approximate figure of at least 25 million professed Anglicans. So, how many of these 25 million actually attend church? Well, during four weeks in October 2000, the church counted it's congregation and found that an average of 1.7 million attended services throughout the week but only 1.4 million attended on Sunday. Like all churches in the western world Anglican congregations are falling but according to C of E statistics cathedral attendances in general and all attendances over Christmas and Easter are continuing to rise. Incidentally, the C of E owns over 16,000 churches in England and Wales and conducts over a quarter of all marriages. Answer In England the Anglican Church has been in decline since about 1910 or earlier. According to some recent surveys it is now various ethnic minorities that keep the Church of England afloat. In view of the Church of England's claim to be the 'National Church' the figures aren't at all good.

Who is the head of the church of England today Is it the pope?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

While Anglicans hold that Jesus Christ is the head of the church,

The Queen is given the title of "Supreme Governor of the Church of England", while the Archbishop of Canterbury is considered to the the "first among equals" (primus inter pares), in other words, the most prominent of the Bishops who lead the church on a day-to-day basis.

If, as we are assured, the Church of England is a Communion of Catholics with the Body of Christ, whilst all that is said above is true, the authority of the Church, or Communion lies with the Bishops of the Catholic Church and is expressed ,eventually, through the College of Bishops by means of the Seven Ecumenical Councils.

The Pope is no more than the Primate of the West and is responsible only for his own Communion, the Suburbicarian Church of Italy!

Which is the tallest English church steeple?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It all depends what is meant by 'spire'. Strictly, a spire is the tapering construction built on top of a tower, sometimes at a later date, and the whole structure is the 'steeple'. even the best authorities get this confused, e.g. Salisbury Cathedral declare that their's is the highest spire in England at 404 feet, but this is actually the overall height, i.e. the steeple.

So far as I know, there is no definitive answer to this question. The architect who said that the third highest spire in England is in Shrewsbury Town Centre, at the Chuch of St. Mary The Virgin, and this is 138 feet high, measured from parapet to c.ock. But he died recently and the source of his information is not known. It continues to be quoted in the literature and by church guides, however.

Who is the religious head of English church?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

King Henry VIII

The above is a gross over simplification! Henry was Head of the Church because he was in a Country or Commonwealth were some 98/99% of the population were Catholics. Later as heresy and false teaching, entered the system and it spread ,Henry put the belief on a regular basis, but the Monarch, as Chief Magistrate in any country, is head of church as regards the law of the land and his responsibilities at law! The Anglican Church, however, issued a statement limiting the King's headship ,'as far as the ,Law of Christ, allows.' The fact is that the regularising of the position, as mentioned above, has been quite basely misused by the Church's enemies and poor scholarship.

Because it retained the catholic faith and they wanted a Calvinist one!

There were other Separatist's, in 1570, the Roman Church started at Trent reared its head in England after the pope's Bull, declaring a Holy war against Elizabeth. These latter were frustrated because the Church in England wouldn't support the Roman Pontiff in his political adventures. i.e. Putting a foreign king on the English Throne!
