Multi-Faith Madness

The Church of England has attacked the government on its policy of promoting Britain as a multi-faith society, charging that the government has sidelined the church, ignored the fact that the country is overwhelmingly Christian, favoured Muslims over other faiths in a manner that smack of a hidden agenda, and even calls the whole idea of "multi-faith" into question, saying that it has done nothing except promote greater separation.

From anyone this sort of plain speaking would be welcome. But from the usually supine C of E it is nothing less than breathtaking.
