"UK Manchester Cathedral calls Muslims to prayer."
Not Christian prayers of course but prayers of worshippers who believe in a political ideology which denies that Jesus Christ is the Messiah, relegating Him to the role of a minor prophet.
The Dean of Manchester was awarded an MBE in 2018 for his services to interfaith relations but Iftar in the cathedral goes way beyond good relations.
In Islamic countries many Christians are in fear of their lives for their faith.
Recently in the UK, not far from Manchester, death threats were sent to pupils who had been suspended from school for accidentally damaging a copy of the Quran.
Following the love and faith debacle the Church of England appears to have completely lost the plot.
Postscript [07.04.2023]
From Church Times: "The Chapter of Manchester Cathedral has apologised for allowing the Muslim call to prayer to be made in the cathedral at an interfaith event last week.
"The Open Iftar event on Wednesday of last week was organised by the Ramadan Tent Project, a Muslim charity. An Iftar is the meal that breaks the day’s Ramadan fast..."
"C of E guidance for churches and cathedrals hosting an Iftar says that the adhan 'should happen in the room allocated for prayer, rather than a consecrated space'." Article here.
What hope for the Church of England if they can't tell the difference between the redeeming love of Christianity and a punishing political ideology?
