Onward Christian Soldiers.
I always thought that the Archbishop of Canterbury was a defender of the faith, but apparently he is apologising to the nations of the world who he says were 'wickedly' taught hynms and carols by missionaries. By the way, this all happened in the time of Queen Victoria. I am fed up of these people who are so disenchanted with our heritage that they feel they have to apologise for our cultural background.
If this man....the figurehead of the Church of Engalnd feels so bad about our ancestors having sowed the seeds of Christianity in the dark recesses of Africa - then maybe he is in the wrong job.
Islam is looking for converts.
Oh, and while I am up here on my soapbox. Lambeth Council (hey, isn't that the Archbishop's neck of the woods) has banned the Christmas Lights......well, no...... they are still having the lights, but they are calling them 'Winter Lights'......they don't want to upset the Ethnic minorities.....but I bet they have a poster up somewhere in the borough the proclaims 'Eid Mubarak'
Oh, I think I should just mention that I hold no particular beliefs or affiliations to any Church or religious organisation.
