King Charles to recognise all faiths at his coronation

The British King is expected to recognise that he serves all religious faiths and not just the Church of England when he speaks during his coronation.

The coronation oath, in which he will pledge to be “Defender of the Faith”, will not change.
However, palace aides and church officials are planning to add a form of words that will allow the King to recognise his commitment to the multiple faiths of a diverse Britain.
The King has long worked to promote interfaith dialogue.
In September, just days after he became monarch, he vowed to “protect the space for faith itself”, promising religious leaders during a Buckingham Palace reception that he would uphold the numerous “religions, cultures, traditions and beliefs to which our hearts and minds direct us”.
