Archbishop Welby PLEASE Stop the (Not) Silent Disco in Canterbury
Cathedral
Why this petition matters
"My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it
a den of robbers.” Matthew 21:12-13
Or, in this
case, ravers.
In February 2024, a
silent disco will take place over two nights in the nave of Canterbury
Cathedral. It is a strictly 18+ event, featuring plenty of alcohol and the
music of the 90’s: Britney, Spice Girls, Eminem and the Vengaboys.
Archbishop Justin
Welby, everyone likes a Silent Disco, but its place is in a nightclub, not
in Canterbury Cathedral.
The most important
Christian church in England.
The site of the martyrdom
and relics of Saint Thomas Becket.
The repository for
the mortal remains of kings, princes and bishops.
The destination
of millions of pilgrims for centuries, past, present and
future.
The inspiration for
our greatest early work of literature.
And most importantly,
the epicentre of countless prayers and sacraments - the House of God.
Do not profane this
holy site of which you are custodian.
It will not bring
young people closer to Christ, rather it will send the message that Christ and
His Church, and all the truth, beauty and goodness it has to offer, are unimportant.
That entertainment deserves our attention more than God. That Christians do not
take their faith or their holy places seriously.
That Christianity is
a lame joke.
Archbishop Welby,
hear our petition, as your brothers and sisters in Christ, and stop the Silent
Disco. Make the Cathedral a house of prayer once more.

And Justin, if the C of E will allow such an abomination then do the decent thing and hand the cathedral back to its proper owners the Roman Catholic Church.
