TL;DR Summary

The coronation of King Charles III will feature significant ecumenical and interreligious gestures, including a procession of flags of Commonwealth nations led by the Hindu Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and a blessing pronounced by Christian leaders of various denominations, including the Catholic Archbishop of Westminster. The liturgy itself reflects the inner tension between the Protestant and Catholic traditions within Anglicanism, but the inclusion of ecumenical and interreligious elements is a tremendous achievement by the Anglican Church and the King to include the diverse elements of British society within a liturgy that is profoundly Anglican.
