Does the Church of England Hate British People?

July 4, 2009 - By BNP News

tombstonesThe disgraceful extremes to which the Church of England stoops in its anti-British and anti-Christian mania have been highlighted by two incidents this week which have seen a crucifix banned in a CoE school and a vicar arrested for aiding illegal immigrants.

Earlier in the week, Reverend Alex Brown, 60, who has served at St Peter’s Church in Cornfield Terrace, St Leonards, Hastings, for 18 years, was arrested at his home in Blomfield Road in a series of dawn raids by officers on six properties.

Rev Brown appeared before Hastings magistrates on Thursday charged with conspiring to facilitate a breach of immigration laws and solemnising a marriage according to Church of England rites without banns having been published.

Detective Inspector Andy Cummins said: “The arrests follow an 18-month investigation into allegations that nearly 180 sham marriages had been arranged at the local St Leonards church, allowing non-EU nationals to remain within the UK and EU member states.”

Only a few days after the vicar’s arrest, the equally incredible news broke that the St Peter’s Church of England School in Chorley, Lancashire, banned a pupil from wearing a crucifix while allowing Sikh pupils to wear religious bangles.

Eight-year-old Lauren Grimshaw-Brown was told to take off the crucifix even though she wore it under her clothing. The reason they gave was for ‘health and safety’ reasons claiming that ‘injuries can arise’ if the chain should catch while the child plays.

“We’re a Christian family and my children wear the necklaces underneath their tops,” said Laina Grimshaw Brown, Lauren’s mother. “I’ve got absolutely no problem with any other religion wearing bangles or another item of jewellery, but why can’t my daughter wear a necklace with a cross? It’s a church-led school.”

Mrs Grimshaw-Brown added that Lauren and brother Callan, five, have always worn crosses at school. “On Thursday Lauren was told by a teacher to take it off because apparently they’re not allowed to wear jewellery.

“I could understand it if it was a fashion accessory or a High School Musical necklace, but it’s part of our faith.”

Mrs Grimshaw-Brown complained directly to the headteacher, Helen Wright, who referred the matter to the school’s chairman of governors, Father Atherton. He upheld the ban.

Mrs Grimshaw-Brown added: “I received a letter in my child’s reading folder. It said that if she had been a Sikh child she would be allowed to wear bangles because it’s part of their religion.

“The necklace is designed to come apart if it snags. The school has suggested she wear a brooch but surely that’s more dangerous because of the pin.”

The letter to Mrs Grimshaw-Brown said: “The prospectus makes it clear that the school will allow jewellery where it is a necessary part of the religious faith of the child, i.e. Sikh families must wear bangles as one of the “five Ks”, the religious rules for dress.”

The Church of England openly campaigned against the British National Party during the recent European elections, despite that party being the only group to oppose the Islamification of Britain which is steadily leading to the extinction of the Christian faith.

In the light of its increasingly erratic behaviour, observers are now asking if the Church of England hierarchy actually does hate British people. Their actions would indicate that they do.
