I’m really interested — will you be swearing allegiance to the King? There is no judgement here, but would love your vote in my poll and maybe reply with why or why not?

The pledge is among several changes to the service, which will incorporate female clergy and other faiths.

@wihtlore not a hope. I swore no allegiance to the last one. Other constitutional monarchies don't. King is a job description.

@capnthommo I won’t be partaking either.

@wihtlore not to say I'm sharpening my pitchfork, but I think if we are to have a monarchy it needs to be on the Scandinavian pattern. A matter of function, not of some kind of 'appointed by god, full of pageantry' affair.
