A Disgusted Anglican

This brother in the Church of England shouldn't need protection in his adopted country; it's hardly any surprise when murderous b*****ds threaten your life in Pakistan, but for them to do so in England is just...

Never mind what he said might just have been true. The only thing the church authorities care about is the "progress" they have made towards dialogue--the support they ought to be giving a fellow-servant of the Lord is thrown aside in an attempt to carry on the misguided denials they spout over and over again.

I don't know how true the Bishop of Rochester's claims are. I don't know if his colleagues are ever going to see reason or convince the Muslim population to do likewise. But I think this--an organisation that shows so little regard for a brother and so much regard for what Muslims will think has no place telling Islam (which hasn't shown much desire to return the favour) what to do; and one that so eagerly forsakes its vision has no place telling ME what to do and believe either.

Frankly, it's one of those times I'm fundamentally disgusted to be an Anglican... and fundamentally thankful our Lordship is in heaven, beyond distinction of denomination or board.

Stand firm in the faith and the God we all trust and serve, Dr. Nazir-Ali. The Church of God should have better things to do than put down a good bishop whose only crime was stating his opinion--and maybe telling the truth in the process.
