I was truly amazed to see two posts on Michelle Malkin’s site that discussed the Church of England.

Although the official church line appears to be that their “faith” is based in preemptive capitulation to Islam and sharia and Article 9 of the European Convention on Human Rights (instead of that stodgy, silly old New Testament), there still may be a few people in the church that still follow some of Christ’s teachings. (Amazing!)

In one post, they discussed Rt Rev Michael Nazir-Ali, who actually started a row in the church by suggesting that Christians might do well to remember the country’s Christian heritage and be willing to share their beliefs with non-Christians.

In the other, they described a Church of England report that (seriously) will take the British government to task for its chronic and habitual patten of “discriminating against the Christian Churches in favour of other faiths, including Islam”. Amazingly, the Church of England officials that put the report together still had enough strength of mind and purposed to,

(accuse) the Government of “deep religious illiteracy” and of having “no convincing moral direction”.

I had pretty much given up on the Church of England. I thought that they had forgotten where they came from and the beliefs and people that had gotten them where they are today. But it seems like there might be one or two serious people left over there. There might still be some life in the ol’ girl yet.
