British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, a Hindu, will read from St. Paul’s letter to the Colossians, which speaks to “loving rule of Christ over all people and all things.” Beyond the trumpeted fanfares and golden carriage, the upcoming coronation remains at its core a deeply Christian ceremony, a two-hour church service, with holy Communion and holy oils, hymns and prayers, filled with praise to God and Jesus Christ.
