Dear Sir

It is perhaps not surprising that an article written from a self-confessedly non-conformist standpoint should decide against the idea of Establishment (‘Breaking the Church/State Link’, EN, June). Even so, a few brief points may be made in response.

Firstly, it is not true to claim (as the piece does) that the Queen is the ‘Head of the Church of England’ – for Jesus Christ is the head of the church, and Her Majesty merely its governor.
