"Labour neglects the Church of England and pays only 'lip service' to Christianity" a Church of England report allegedly states:

The Press Association: Anglicans condemn Labour faith bias

The Bear

The report is correct.

Is that a problem?

A 'minister for religion' is the last thing we need.

Do you see what happens when e to medchurch and state don't separate? It will always end up going sour - in this case, the government is fredle with the Muslims with no legal fears.

It certainly is when they bend over backwards to support and even help promote Islam.

I particularly liked the comment about government Ministers being "religiously illiterate". How very true that is.

I agree with Smidgey about a minister for religion

I do think the rights of Christians have been trampled over by this government who have done more to dismantle family values than any that have ever soiled the front bench before them.

As a chrisitian I will have to think very carefully about who gets my vote as effectivley we are being disenfranchised.

Sorry but couldn't resist posting on this.

WAS THE CHURCH OF SCOTLAND TREATED IN THE SAME WAY AS THE Cof E?

Smidgey

The Church of Scotland isn't a state church, so I shouldn't suspect that it was. There is no state church up here, they are all separated from it and the government has kept out of the affairs of the different Christian denominations as well as the Muslims, Jews, etc.

I don’t think it’s a matter of the C of E or the “Wee Free” or whatever, it’s a monumental ignorance about Islam and the horrendous mistake in thinking that it’s essentially the same as Christianity or Judaism and dealing with the difference as one of simple diversity, a thing to be promoted.

In short, yet another bit of staggering incompetence by this awful government.

I think religion should be kept out of politics and schools. In fact, out of public life in general.
I have no problem with anyone following their faith but, as far as I am concerned, that should be a private matter.
