Canterbury Charges Admission

<< Canterbury Cathedral, spiritual home of the worldwide Anglican church,
is to charge entrance fees to Sunday visitors. Cathedral authorities
said their concerns were prompted by safety and not economics. They
are keen to avoid what was described as "disruptive and dangerous
crowding" in the cathedral, which attracts more than 1.7 million
visitors a year. The cathedral, which brought in a weekday admission
fee two years ago, is this year celebrating the 1,500th anniversary of
the arrival in Canterbury of St. Augustine, who brought Christianity
to Britain. A sharp increase in pilgrims is expected.

I think God could really use the money! Let 'em charge addmisson. (tongue
in cheek).
