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.

Rules for submitting comments:
1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.
2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.
3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.
4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.
Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.
Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
