Decline of Christianity
In a lacerating attack on liberal values, the Right Reverend Michael Nazir-Ali, the Bishop of Rochester, said the country (England) was mired in a doctrine of ‘endless self-indulgence’ that had brought an explosion in public violence and binge-drinking. . . . .
Dr Nazir-Ali’s attack on the decline of Christianity appears to put him in the opposite corner to the arch-liberal Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, and many of his fellow bishops. But he holds some views in common with the Church’s other widely-heard and popular prelate, Ugandan-born Dr John Sentamu, the Archbishop of York.
Over the past six months, Dr Nazir-Ali has made a number of criticisms of Islam and its influence. Among them have been charges about the spread of no-go areas for non-Muslims and worries over the impact of new mosques. The entire report can be read at DailyMail.co.uk Dr Nazir-Ali detailed his arguments in an article in the newly-launched political magazine Standpoint.
The bishop, himself an immigrant from Pakistan in the mid-1980s, admitted that he might be thought of as the least qualified person to discuss British identity. But he quoted Kipling: ‘What should they know of England who only England know?’
