People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones!
From Simon Icke I had to laugh at Dr Rowan Williams Archbishop of Canterbury's 'New Statesman accusations' against the coalition Government, saying more or less 'they are not doing enough for the poor people of this country and creating anxiety and fear in many people who though unfortunate circumstances find themselves at the bottom of the pile. This might be very true, but for that matter neither are the Church of England doing very much; as it was only a couple of months ago that the Anglican church commissioners announced their C of E reserve fund had grown from £4.7 billion to £5.2 billion (a 15% increase in one year). I wonder how much of this 'obscene' amount of money, for a Christian church to have in reserve, will be given to those in need in the parishes, up and down the country over the coming months and years? Very little I expect. So what about leading by example Dr Williams? How can you criticise others when the Anglican church does so little itself to help the UK's poor from what I can see? It seems to be more concerned with being PC and making 'mealy mouthed sound bites' about the new false climate change/ green religion etc, rather than preaching and practising the Christian Gospel as it should. If any British institution that has lost its way, then it is surely the Church of England. Perhaps it is not surprising though, when we often hear such rubbish being spoken from those leading the church. Due to problems with spam only SalfordOnline members can now leave comments.
