Archbishop of Canterbury: ‘Christian doctrine is offensive to Muslims’

In a highly conciliatory letter to Islamic leaders calling for an alliance between the two faiths for ‘the common good’, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Rowan Williams, pronounced that not only is Christian doctrine offensive to Muslims, but that the Christian belief in the Trinity – that God is Father, Son and Holy Ghost at the same time – ‘is difficult, sometimes offensive, to Muslims’.

The Archbishop went on to push an ecumenical social ‘gospel’, saying:

‘We can together speak for those who have no voice or leverage in society – for the poorest, the most despised, the least powerful, for women and children, for migrants and minorities; and even to speak together for the great encompassing reality that has no voice of its own, our injured and abused material environment.’

Where’s that heckler who ranted against Gene Robinson when we need him, again?

  2. Muslim doctrine (especially jihadi issues) is offensive to Christian. But we don’t seek to kill them or wipe them off the face of the earth because of it. We attempt to win them, not by the sword, but by the cross.

    I seem to remember reading something about Christ being a “stone of stumbling and a rock of offense.” It might behoove the antichrist Archbishop to, oh, I don’t know, pick up a Bible and actually read it once in a while.

    Funny thing, i don’t ever remember Jesus worrying that he was hurting people’s feeeeeeelings.

  4. I have a serious question. I am not from England so I don’t know how it works, but how can an Archbishop of a “Christian” church have dual membership in a pagan (druid) religion?

  5. Well, I being English may be able to help. A druid religion isn’t considered another religion to most Brits, as much as a tradition – much like some “Christians” believe it is within reason to join the Freemasons.

  6. From Wikipedia – “The Celtic communities Druids served were POLYTHEISTIC. They also show signs of ANIMISM, in their reverence for various aspects of the natural world, such as the land, sea and sky, and their veneration of other aspects of nature, such as sacred trees and groves (the oak and hazel were particularly revered), tops of hills, streams, lakes and plants such as the mistletoe. Fire was regarded as a symbol of SEVERAL DIVINITIES and was associated with cleansing. Purported ritual killing and human sacrifice were aspects of druidic culture that shocked classical writers.” – EMPHASIS MINE

    I am also English, and sadly most people in Britain do not recognize any religion but the god of sport or self-pleasure.

    By the way, whether in the UK or in the USA, I believe that it would be just as wrong for a true believer to be a member of the druid/pagan religion as it would for them to be a member of a secret society like the Freemasons!

    Modern attempts at reconstructing, reinventing or reimagining the practices of the druids are called Neo-druidism.

  9. I didn’t know about him being inducted as a druid and just read that article, where he said, “If people had actually looked at the words of the hymns and text used they would have seen a very Christian service.”

    REALLY?!

    Which hymns has he been singing?!

    Mat 15:14 Let them alone. They are blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch.
