A Darlington church is coming under fire after offering to cover up crosses and allow Muslims to say prayers in its building. St Matthew and St Luke’s had initially invited members of the Muslim community for an event next month to mark Ramadan.

This is a demonstration of dhimmitude at its best, while Christians suffer the horrors of persecution across islamic states for their inferior and hated status.  In a ray of hope…

Upon hearing about the event the Diocese of Durham intervened and told the church it must not hold Islamic prayers in the church building.

The church’s gaffe however was then glossed over and explained by the archbishop that the motivation was “from the position of integrity”.


Speaking to Premier, the Anglican Bishop of the Christian Episcopal Church in the UK said: “Clearly the motivation behind the event is very good. Anything that tries to get people together to understand each other and be good neighbors, is laudable and to be appreciated but it has to be done from a position of integrity.”

Quite the opposite.  No amount of damage control can fix this one. In offering to “hide crosses”, the vicar demonstrated an appalling lack of integrity–most troubling as a church leader. He was inconsiderate of and insulting to congregants, ignorant of Islamic supremacist incursion into the UK, irreverent as a church leader and in complete violation of Canon law….

This is a legal position outlined in Canons B1/2/3 and B5 Section 3 where it states: ‘all forms of service used under this Canon shall be reverent and seemly and shall be neither contrary to, nor indicative of any departure from, the doctrine of the Church of England in any essential matter’.
