So the C of E has allowed a document to be 'leaked' condemning 'multifaith' on the grounds that it has been more divisive rather than less. It is generally perceived that preferential treatment - especially from politicians of the left [my point] - has been afforded to the 3% of the nation who are Muslim. Certainly, they have received different treatment to the Sikhs, Hindus, Jews and members of Chinese religions. It almost implies a kind of superiority. This Blog frequently points out those instances where Muslims are 'judged by a different standard ' to the majority in the UK and certainly to Christians. Clearly, this is worse in the inner cities where the left think that they can pick up cheap votes. Once again I shall point out the inconsistencies of a great many on the left who are pro political correctness and pro Islam. Without wishing the image to be seen as offensive, it is like giving active support for both marxism and fascism at the same time.This prefererential treatment is reminiscent of a family with many children - some of whom are late adoptions. One of these is then spoilt by the parents. This causes two major problems. Firstly, the lucky child gets used to the privileges and begins to develop unreasonable expectations. Secondly, the other children become profoundly resentful.
The idiot in the street could see this..........
I do not condemn good relations between the various religions and if neither abused nor used for compromise, even Interfaith can be reasonable.
It is an abomination that some so-called Christians have accepted joint worship services with other religions. I repeat an old point. People have the 'right to be wrong' in a democratic society however that does not give the Church leave to dilute the faith. I have actually read the 10 Commandments even if they have not.
