St George's Day is for every Englishman (and women too!).
It is not the province of the fascist - it is for all who take a pride in being born in this nation of ours.
It is not the vehicle of oppression - under its flag many have given their lives to free the oppressed and to seek justice for all.
It is not a symbol of white supremacy - but a symbol of national pride open to all regardless of colour.
Let us who are English regain our national day and wear our roses with pride and fly our flag with gratitude for our birthright and our home.
Father God,
The legend of St George leads us to fight against dragons and to rescue the helpless.
Enable us, by the Gospel of truth, to free all from the slavery to sin and death
And to free the oppressed that your light may shine again on upon England, our home. Amen.
God for Harry, England and St. George!

Well said. I see that you made the churchmouse's roundup of St Georges Day.
Perhaps we should ignore the dragon bit and celebrate the role of St George as a Christian Martyr, as they do elsewhere in Europe and the middle east.
