THE public expression of the Christian faith and other religions is being undermined by political correctness, the former Archbishop of Canterbury, Lord Carey of Clifton, says.

“I think there is a view around that practising Christianity and all the symbols that go with it embarrasses people of other faiths and of course that’s nonsense,” he told GMTV’s Sunday Programme.

This month a Derby schoolgirl was sent home after she refused to remove her crucifix necklace. A crucifix was “an expression of our faith”, Lord Carey said, dismissing the claim that it was jewellery. “I’m glad that many people have risen up against that and said it’s nonsense,” he said.

Amen brother Carey!

I agree with Lord Carey, what a pity he didnt speak out more stronly against this sort of thing when he was in a position of authority!

Carey is a fool. He's contributed much to this situation himself.

There was an earlier story than this on Sunday.

It's the present Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams who has spoken out against political correctness regarding Christmas. He was followed by Carey it seems.
