	Peculiar - LoveToKnow 1911
		PECULIAR, a word now generally used in the sense of that which solely or exclusively belongs to,or is particularly characteristic of, an individual; hence strange, odd, queer.
		As a term of ecclesiastical law "peculiar" is applied to those ecclesiastical districts, parishes, chapels or churches, once numerous in England, which were outside the jurisdiction of the bishop of the diocese in which they were situated, and were subject to a jurisdiction "peculiar" to themselves.
		The jurisdiction and privileges of the "peculiars" were abolished by statutory powers given to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners Acts 1836 and 1850, by the Pluralities Act 1838, the Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction Act 1847, and other statutes.

		In all these countries, the royal or ducal power, when it began to extend its scope, found itself limited by the feudal system and had to turn to the forces of feudalism to obtain from them aid and counsel, that is, pecuniary assistance and moral support.
		In France, extending royal power led in 1302 to a general assembly consisting of the chief lords, both lay and ecclesiastical, and the representatives of the principal privileged towns, which were like distinct lordships.
		But in the second half of the 14th century certain royal taxes, levied throughout the whole of the domain of the Crown, tended to become permanent and independent of the vote of the estates.

	Royal chapel stays closed to the people - news from ekklesia
		The forthcoming royal wedding between Prince Charles and Ms Camilla Parker Bowles descended to further levels of behind-the-scenes farce yesterday, when it was announced that they would now marry in a register office rather than in St George’s Chapel, Windsor — because this was the only way of keeping ordinary people out of the Chapel.
		Prince Charles, the future King (and thereby shoe-in Supreme Governor of the Church of England, which is established in subjection to the crown) cannot marry in a Church of England church because of the circumstances of the couple’s divorces and the policy of the Church, the Archbishop of Canterbury has decided on advisement.
		The Chapel is a ‘royal peculiar’, which means that it is a church franchised to the exclusive control of the crown.
