Bishop joins row over PC town halls
The Bishop of Lichfield, the Rt Rev Jonathan Gledhill, today became the latest church leader to lambast town halls and businesses that play down Christmas for fear of offending people of other faiths. The bishop used his Christmas message to blame a "tiny minority" for hijacking Christmas, and called for spiritual values to be put back at the centre of public life. "Only a tiny minority among us wants either a mish-mash of beliefs or an empty manger," said Bishop Gledhill. "Most of our Muslim, Sikh or Jewish neighbours are glad to be in a Christian country where they respect our faith and we respect theirs, and they seem to wish we Christians were a bit more up-front about our beliefs." He congratulated Stafford borough council who "bravely" purchased new crib figures this year for their town centre Christmas display, saying this "rather goes against the trend of multi-faith everything".
