0:00.0 | We'll build most Americans, and maybe even people from other countries are only mildly |
0:21.3 | interested in the recent passing of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth, but people in the UK will |
0:27.4 | be mourning for quite some time. And you and Jan have connections to that part of the world. |
0:33.0 | So if you've been watching this with interest, I'm sure. Oh, we really have Kevin. I did my doctoral |
0:40.6 | work in England at the University of Birmingham, and Jan and I just fell in love with English people |
0:48.9 | and the culture. My roots are Scottish. And so we just follow with great interest what's going on |

2:32.4 | Well, one of the most significant things is that it means there is now a new head of the Church |
2:37.8 | of England because there is a new monarch. And whereas the Queen was very outspoken about her faith |
2:46.1 | in Jesus Christ, I think it remains to be seen exactly where King Charles will come down on this. |
2:53.4 | And what sort of a head he will be for the Anglican Church. I know some of our British friends are |
