Today, we celebrate All Saints’ Day, giving thanks for the faithful men and women in church history and those who continue to inspire us today.
@FideliumLondon joined All Saints’, Margaret Street for its patronal festival to explore this feast day and the hope it offers us all.

Never forget: disorder is bad, the ultimate failure of politics. Riots, political violence, looting, arson: it's not fun. It's not glamorous. It's also almost never the prelude to greater justice or the means of improvement. It's just miserable, for the poor usually most of all

Sir Roger Scruton ran an illegal underground university behind the Iron Curtain in communist Czechoslovakia at enormous personal risk in the 70s and 80s. For this *alone* he was a hero and more virtuous than any other public intellectual or commentator we have now.

Which is good news. However, many active parish churches - including grade I listed, such as mine - have been turned down for this. It should never be easier to keep up a redundant church than a living one.

The Society is appalled by the destruction of the former All Souls Church on Every Street, Ancoats, Manchester, demolished last week after standing for more than 180 years. For generations, it had been a place of worship and a centre of community life.

The Church of England has a solution to this: if you're a visitor, go and sit in the very front pew. It will always be empty. In fact, no human being has ever voluntarily sat at the front in a C of E service since 1559.
