Walsingham Whitsun Pilgrimage Protests

Evangelical protestors picketing the the annual Whitsun pilgrimage to Walsingham, Norfolk. The protestors object to the Anglican church's refusal to adhere to the 39 Articles Of Faith. The Articles are a set of statements defining the doctrines and practices of the Church of England, established in 1563 and finalized in 1571. They reflect the Anglican Church’s theological position during the English Reformation, balancing Protestant and Catholic influences. Amongst others, they forbid the worship of idols, and doctrines like purgatory, indulgences, and veneration of relics.
