In the last two years I have worshipped in two different Anglican and two different Methodist churches.
I've been disconcerted to find that while my own political allegiance has transitioned at warp speed away from the political Left (first Labour, then Green) to the place I now am politically — not because my views have changed but because society around me has changed — the churches I have attended (both clergy and congregation) adhere to what one might call the BBC point of view: sympathy for mass immigration, ignorance of (or indifference to) danger to women and children, apparent unawareness of the economic cliff-edge on which we now stand, indifference to the scale of threat to children from gender ideology, complacent indifference to the escalation of two-tier policing and the erosion of free speech, misinformation in public broadcasts with the intention of directing public opinion, and increasing anti-white racism.
The video below represents the concerns I feel about the state of our nation, and I cannot understand why these concerns are not shared by the clergy and congregations of the churches I know.
As always I welcome your comments and perspectives, regardless of whether you share my sense of concern — listening to friends who see life quite differently is something I value and seek.
