Amazing!
An Anglican bishop defends Christianity!
I'm sure he will be quickly replaced by some Communist bullbitch who "represents Anglican values" more accurately, but for this one shining moment a Christian official has spoken in favor of Christianity. ¶ 4:33 PM
The Bishop of Winchester, the Rt Rev Michael Scott-Joynt, warned that the death of “religious literacy” among those who made and administered the law had created an imbalance in the way in which those with faith were treated compared to sexual minorities. ...
Bishop Scott-Joynt told the BBC’s World This Weekend: "The problem is that there is a really quite widespread perception among Christians that there is growing up something of an imbalance in the legal position with regard to the freedom of Christians and people of other faiths to pursue the calling of their faith in public life, in public service.
Probably for the first time in our history there is a widespread lack of religious literacy among those who one way and another hold power and influence, whether it’s Parliament or the media or even, dare I say it, in the judiciary.
... There are increasingly professions where it could be difficult for people who are devoted believers to work in certain of the public services, indeed in Parliament.
Anybody who is part of the religious community believes that you don’t just hold views, you live them. Manifesting your faith is part of having it and not part of some optional bolt-on."
I'm sure he will be quickly replaced by some Communist bullbitch who "represents Anglican values" more accurately, but for this one shining moment a Christian official has spoken in favor of Christianity. ¶ 4:33 PM
