In granting a faculty for substantial re-ordering of the church (subject to the approval of details), the chancellor required the re-instatement of various items that had been removed, including flags of the Royal Naval Association and the Royal Naval Auxiliary Service, and boards containing the Creed, the Lord's Prayer and the Ten Commandments. With regard to the Commandments, the chancellor rejected a suggestion that they projected a negative image and were anachronistic for people in the twenty-first century, observing that ‘to sit facing a board on which “thou shalt not commit adultery” was written might serve some Christian purpose for a new worshipping body of people perhaps more accustomed to soap operas on television’.
