It's nice to get your facts right.  The Anglican church is not established
here in Canada.  No church is.  Most of the Christian chaplains  are
probably Roman Catholic and United Church of Canada, a merger of
Presbyterians Methodists and one other (I forget).  You should LOOVE the UCC
because they just signed on to the boycott of Israeli settlement products.
You got other facts wrong, DOCTOR Hayes, but I can't be bothered.

I didn't know that Jesus was a member of the Anglican Church, I always
thought he was a Scot, because he did not give his guests at the table a
bread of their own. I guess that the problem with history these days, it
changes all the time.
