An Espresso Shot [11-03-05]: The Coming of a Prince...Sort of
Normally, I catch Al Mohler's well-written daily articles when they're posted, but not this one. Thankfully, my friend, Peter, highlighted it over at Wires From the Bunker and I didn't miss it altogether. You shouldn't, either. In this article, Mohler explains the postmodern tendencies of the "eccentric" monarch who is Prince Charles of Wales, and points out his desire to be "a defender of faith rather than Defender of the Faith" as British royalty used to consider themselves:
Of all the people to be lecturing on morality, Prince Charles ranks right up there with the likes of Madonna and Bill Clinton. The entire article is well worth the read here.
'I personally would rather see it as Defender of Faith, not the Faith, becauseMohler points out part of Charles' mission to the states as being to set America aright regarding her view and approach to Muslim influences:
it [Defender of the Faith] means just one particular interpretation of the
Faith, which I think is sometimes something that causes a deal of problem,' said
the Prince. Viewers of the interview could be forgiven for failing to understand
the Prince's bumbling articulation. After all, what is 'sometimes something that
causes a deal of a problem' supposed to mean?
Now, Prince Charles intends to chide President George W. Bush concerning what
the Prince sees as America's lack of tolerance for Islam. According to The
Telegraph [London], the Prince "has voiced private concerns over Washington's
'confrontational' approach to Muslim countries and its failure to appreciate
what he regards as Islam's strengths."
Of all the people to be lecturing on morality, Prince Charles ranks right up there with the likes of Madonna and Bill Clinton. The entire article is well worth the read here.
