Dr Giles Frazer, Canon Chancellor of St Paul's Cathedral, on Thought For The Day

I listened to Dr Giles Frazer, Canon Chancellor of St Paul's Cathedral, on Thought For The Day on BBC Radio 4 this morning at 7.45am.   His hectoring short sermon was an example of an increasing phenomenon in the Church of England whereby senior clerics try to prove their macho credentials by beating up their own congregations.   He doesn't seem to realise that it is not the fault of the existing congregations that there are not more multicultural people in the Church.   If Dr Frazer wants more multicultural people in the Church of England he should get off his fat arse and convert some.   Not that he will.  Senior clerics are more concerned with playing church politics than with leading missions among the people.  Forcing congregations to sing 1970s doggerel choruses (which personally make me cringe) and abandoning the King James Version on the pretext of "inclusivity" is no substitute for proclaiming the eternal truths revealed in scripture and giving absolutely clear and logical moral guidance on right and wrong.   It is not good for my health to get so angry early in the morning (and in the middle of Lent).   You can listen yourself:  http://news.bbc.co.uk/today/hi/listen_again/default.stm
