"Wiki says - The format was based on an Order drawn up by Edward White Benson, later Archbishop of Canterbury but at that time Bishop of Truro, in Cornwall, for use on Christmas Eve (24 December) 1880. Tradition says that he organized a 10 pm service on Christmas Eve in a temporary wooden shed serving as his cathedral and that a key purpose of the service was to keep men out of pubs on Christmas Eve. \n  \nThe first Kings' service was in 1918 and revised in 1919. \n  \nIs having one fewer lesson really going to upset anyone enough to cause them to leave the church?  Why does a format drawn up 80 years ago have any more validity than something drawn up today?  Buses have been red for longer than that, and yet I don't see people boycotting green or yellow ones. "
