Top Jew Chief Rabbi Sir Jonathan Sacks - could he be done for inciting religious hatred?

So, it's Muslims v Christians in Round 1 with the winner playing the Jews...?

If the Christians are going to reach the finals they'll have to stop being so nice and do some gouging and scratching.

Do not think the Rabbi Sacks comments really go that far.

Think it was more a case of pointing out the Church of Englands strange view on Isreal.

"The Church has chosen to take a stand on the politics of the Middle East over which it has no influence, knowing that it will have the most adverse repercussions on a situation over which it has enormous influence, namely Jewish-Christian relations in Britain."

Does that sound like a threat to anyone else??

But...what Jewish -Christian Relations are they actually referring too, I haven't noticed the church and the synagogues getting involved in any joint ventures....

BBC said:

Sir Jonathan's remarks come after last week's vote at the Synod over whether the Church should withdraw its £2.5m investment in the company Caterpillar.

Official, religion is a business out to make money. Beliefs and faith in an invisible being are purely coincidental.

It merely illustrates, yet again, that, in a desperate attempt to appear 'relevant', the Church of England is embracing any politically correct cause going.

Despite this they are still seeing declining attendances at churches, in marked contrast to Evangelical Christians. It seems that the faithful prefer churches that stand proud in their faith, rather than one that almost apologises for it.
