Fury as primary school SCRAPS Easter service to 'respect' other religions – but will celebrate 'Refugee Week' (www.dailymail.co.uk)

Christianity and national identity is under a very powerful attack in the UK. Within a generation multiple cities have been turned into third world dead zones, with sex crimes and violent crimes common place and muted in any major media coverage. This has never been voted for, we are a peaceful nation and all generosity has been used against us. I honestly could see a genocide evolving within another generation. Please pray for us.
shut up simoan, have you ever even been to the UK ?
I agree with you wholeheartedly.

Pick up the Bible and read it is my best advice…but I feel we have surpassed this anyway as Christians in the UK are so very rare to come across in the wild. Also it may be God’s will to bring us low.
I wanted to move to the UK. No, I even dreamed about it. No more. Now I watch it disintegrate with deep sadness. I always had a very soft spot for British culture and wanted to become a part of it.
Luckily being a Christian isn’t a numbers game – so there is that. I’ll go where the Lord bids me to go provided I have that courage. It’s sad that we have lost our culture but people who purport to enjoy “Christian culture” never ever worshipped the Lord and the church of the shopping mall overcame the church of God. Now they woe over it like it was done to them but really we did this to ourselves.

Totally agree.
I pray that Christians in the UK will fervently evangelize 1) their fellow countrymen who are now practical atheists and 2) the Muslims and Hindus, etc. in their midst.
Here’s an article on how terrible and brutal the Vikings were in the early Middle Ages, when they raided England repeatedly and made many Catholic martyrs. Then the Vikings moved there to live and were **converted** to Catholicism. I see a definite parallel with the Muslims there now, butwithout the happy ending — yet.

The only reason I can see that the current crop of Muslims and practical atheists in the UK are not being converted is that the Christians there are secularized, lukewarm, or too scared (i.e., lukewarm).
Same with the US… it’s just happening slower here because there are more actual functioning, practicing Christians (mostly Catholics & Protestants) here, though we’re being lulled into lukewarmness and sucked into the degraded secular culture as well. Also, we Catholics in particular need to step up our evangelization efforts by orders of magnitude.
I’m not necessarily talking about street evangelism, but more friendships, hospitality, befriending colleagues at work, showing your faith, hosting public events, graciously evangelizing acquaintances, waiters, shopkeepers, etc. And having more children whom you educate and raise in a strong family faith.
May God bless the UK, Europe, & the US, and return the West to Christendom.
Christianity in Britain has been hijacked by affirming/virtue signalling kindness and love/liberal politics in part and I truly believe people didn’t want to listen to it. What some churches are preaching about politics isn’t biblical. Without preaching the truth and the less palatable things Jesus said, people have a new age/new thought idea of Christianity. People talk of heaven a lot here – not much about hell though. Our minister preached a fantastic sermon on Sunday about repentance and what it actually means to repent and Christians showing others that instead of piously having it all worked out – which can be the impression non Christian ppl have – to show how broken we are to need to be saved.
Pride goes before a fall. Pride has always been Britain’s problem.
I like the parallel to the vikings Antonia.
Lord hear our prayer.
I didn’t realise people were so into religion being institutionalised on this website – are all commenters American? I’m from the UK and Easter, as a Christian holiday about the rebirth of Jesus, has no place in a secular school. Refugee week on the other hand has nothing to do with religion but more about humanitarianism. I hope that explains the logic behind this.
but they celebrate islam more often than christianity.
What a cretinous statement. Christianity has a place in every school in the Britain,period. The Refugee day you mention would naturally be Christian in any case as we are taught to love our neighbours and help others. The trouble is now that people such as yourself have sought not to seek the approval of God and Jesus and instead seek the approval of your peers through virtue signalling. Let me tell you now that the folk who you virtue signal to,do not care a jot about your gestures. They are too busy trying to go one better. I find it remarkable that you acknowledge satan and lucifer by the very fact you visit this site yet castigate Christians and our beliefs.
thanks John I’m glad there someone with basic humanity on this site, I’m wondering about VC himself even at this point, its almost as though he has fallen to the same traps that he warns us about….
Is Christmas not a Christian holiday?
no tis a pagan one
Easter has been heavily secularized as a celebration of rabbits and eggs, it’s
not that hard to pretend. Clearly an attack on Christianity. May as well ban Christmas too!
pagan celebration of springtime, the rebirth of nature etc, you should know if you are truly vigilant
