  • Gathered beneath the outer walls of the 15th century Church of St John the Baptist, a flock of Anglican pilgrims ready for a procession through the ancient Christian and pagan town of Glastonbury. Banners from their parish churches show illustrations for their Saints such as St Andrew and St Mark while an angel looks down on another. A young choir boy looks down at his feet, a middle-aged Church of England vicar holds his banner and a much younger member of a congregation stands with a polished silver cross. Glastonbury is notable for myths and legends about Joseph of Arimathea, the Holy Grail and King Arthur and in Arthurian literature Glastonbury is identified with the legendary island of Avalon. Medieval monks at the abbey even claimed to have found the graves of Arthur and Guinevere and the place is also said to be the centre of several ley lines.

  • Accompanied by a City of London police officer, members of a Druid sect walk through the street as part of their Spring Equinox celebrations. The Ancient Druids were once Judges, Kingmakers, Scientists, Magicians and Priests and their modern counterparts may be viewed likewise. The word itself comes through both Brythonic tongues (Cornish and Welsh) meaning either knowledge of the oak or wizard - or wise man in Gaelic (Irish and Scots.) Druidry itself is both a philosophical viewpoint and a religious world view, although many Druids view themselves  also as Pagan Priests. A druid was a member of the priestly class in Gaul and possibly other parts of Celtic western Europe during the Iron Age. Following the invasion of Gaul by the Roman Empire, the druids were suppressed by the Roman government.

  • Protesters gather in Hyde Park to voice opposition to Catholic thinking during Pope Benedict XVI's papal tour of Britain 2010, the first visit by a pontiff since 1982. Taxpayers footed the £10m bill for non-religious elements, which largely angered a nation still reeling from the financial crisis. Pope Benedict XVI is the head of the biggest Christian denomination in the world, some one billion Roman Catholics, or one in six people. In Britain there are about five million Catholics but only a quarter of Catholics regularly attend Sunday Mass and some churches have closed owing to spending cuts.

  • Father Peter Geldard sits in his former Anglican Church near Faversham, England. He sits in a pew clasping his hands together and looking away as if lost in thought, the Christian cross and altar in the distance. Geldard is known for his stance against the Church of England's vote allowing the ordination of women priests in 1992, causing a huge row with Anglican church worshippers. Clergy, including five bishops, eventually left to join the Catholic Church including Father Geldard, who led the opposition and became a notorious debater, campaigner, and general nuisance to the church. He eventually resigned from his Anglican orders, moved out of his vicarage house and along with thirty-five members of his former parish (including the churchwardens and all the members of the parish council), now attends Mass at the Catholic church in Faversham. .

  • A young, vulnerable-looking youth stands close to two members of a local Evangelical church who are using a carpet warehouse as a temporary Ministry. Rolls of carpets and rugs are behind these Christians as the two officials practice the 'laying on of hands' to cleanse the soul of their young convert during a religious meeting in Newport, Wales. As the ceremony takes place when this boy is persuaded to accept Jesus into his life, two retail signs proclaim the prices and credit terms of the household items. The laying on of hands is a religious practice found throughout the world in varying forms. In Christian churches, this practice is used as both a symbolic and formal method of invoking the Holy Spirit during baptisms, healing services, blessings, and ordination of priests, ministers, elders, deacons, and other holy church ceremonies.

  • Religious lifestyle choices seen in a faded picture of Christian family morals, outside a Catholic church, on 18th July 2016, at Costa Novo, near Aveira, Portugal. Fading and suffering from green algae, the picture of the perfect family who attend Mass is seen in front of the tall cross and building exterior. There are an estimated nine million baptised Catholics in Portugal (84% of the population), in twenty dioceses, served by 2,789 priests. 19% of the national population attend mass and take the sacraments regularly.
