Colin, thanks for your interest. As to your post 87 on this thread and your question, the second is correct. I have been trying to promote Dover's and Kent's position in history of Christianity on Britain's shores. And trying to propose the revival of some churches that have been left to ruin or have been demolished, always with an eye to reviewing Christian Faith, which has been condemned to dying out in Britain. In fact, in an article of a national news paper I read some months ago, it is estimated that in thirty years time, the number of people who will actually bother at all with Christianity in Britain will be a tenth of what it is now, which is a tenth of even 150 years ago!
The idea that tourists might also be interested in seeing a nice Notre-Dame style church "opposite" the Town Hall, which currently stands in sign of rebuke to Christianity, was probably an act of desperation to convince some people that we should at least repair that church and re-instate it as a church, however the real ideal wasn't to attract tourism, but to do a service of honour to our Christian Faith. I mentioned that pilgrims used to come to Dover, that we had priories and churches, that to think about rebuilding or repairing a church or other could also be an accosion for the traditionally different Christian congregations in Dover to actually unite in one Cause.
That could also mean that different doctrines concerning Christian Churches or Congregations could be confronted and may-be some doctrines reviewed in the light of what the Bible actually says, and that this could be done openly, in a way that people could question doctrines and ask for these to be explained by people who know the Bible and are prepared to give an explanation. It could have meant parsons, priests and spiritual guides of other Christian congregations joining in, and that at some point we might have had a unified Christian Church. I would also join in with my views too!
Colin, this is a proposal, but I too am limited, and sometimes I get tired, and go to bed, and sometimes I can't sleep. But I won't be sitting here eternally writing and writing the same things, and I believe that, since I managed to demonstrate that the knowledge concerning king Lucius came from Dover Museum, this thread has proved the point of it's initial intentions, that Christianity came once, and had no intention of being expelled, which is why it returned in the days of the Kentish kingdom. Thank's, Colin!
