The most attended denomination?
Reuters(can be found on Yahoo! News/UK& Ire) presents an article by Luke Baker in the Sunday Telegraph
which reports that 862,000 Catholics now attend catholic services weekly over 852,000 Anglicans ( a number of whom are Anglo-Catholic or Evangelical-Catholic) weekly in the UK.
Pentecostalism is the fastest growing Christian movement(both Protestant and Catholic Charismatic) in the UK. Islam is growing faste r tha Christianity in Uk but is still a small minority at this time and practicing Muslims do not seem to be the majority among them in the UK.
What do you think?

I wasn't aware of that, but I'm happy about it.
From what I garnor, the English have tended to grow up with a harsh bias against catholicism since Henry VIII split from the church. It had a lot to do with politics and fault on both sides which escalated the conflict. However some very great catholic saints also came from that feud like St. Thomas Moore. With a witness like that, how can one despise the catholic church?!
I think it is good to have more of our bretheren come "back into the fold" as it were. I welcome them with open arms!

I also think Blair's conversion to Catholicism will bring in more converts.
