#1 This is to be expected. The CoE is no longer a Christian Church.

#2 If this is allowed to stand it crosses a line (for me) from which there is no return.

Once upon a time I harbored a warm and fuzzy feeling for a a formerly great country that gave birth to the USA. Not so much anymore.

#3 I attend an Episcopal church and we are tied to this bunch of lunatics. If I were in the church the day this crap was sung I would have been standing up and booing. I would have then lambasted the "priest" for letting such idiocy take place. What fools.

#4 I would have then lambasted the "priest" for letting such idiocy take place.

That happens - and people walk out, sometimes to never return. The CoE is infested with Leftist shiesters - it won't be the first institution to suffer this ugly fate and nor will it be the last.

To suggest that the singing of these moronic carol lyrics represents mainstream British opinion is like a Brit saying they have no respect for the USA because people go and listen to the likes of Jeremiah White week after week...

#5 Looks to me more like the annual 12 Days of Christmas Shopping list.
So much to do and '..lordy,lordy, just look at the time. I really have to hurry now....'
Probably a good thing that Corrie doesn't rhyme with anything in there or they would work in a St Pancake reference.

#6 He ain't white, he's Wright.

And I think the clergy should be pilloried for having that song sung with either set of lyrics. It's profane and repetitive. Philip Glass with a melody.

#7 It looks more anti-Zionist than anti-Semite to me,
there is a difference.
But it is still in EXTREMELY poor taste for a Christmas Carol and totally outrageous for the C of E to have done or condoned.

#8 I have had it with this church.

Pope, this church is not one of yours. Ensure they know this.

#9 Pope, this church is not one of yours. Ensure they know this.

I think all parties have been aware of that since 1534.

#10 It's because of nonsense like this that the African branch of the church is gaining so many adherents, both as individuals and as congregations. As for those in the C of E who choose such things, they were already going to burn in the deepest of the nether hells for betraying their Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

Yep, it's like hating rednecks morons without hating Americans.

#12 The statistics show that anti-Zionism is merely a way station to full blown antisemitism. It's a difference of degree rather than kind.

#13 Would they get offended if, say, an Irish bar in Boston decided to modify the lyrics to suit the Troubles?

#14 Wasn't it the archbishop of the Church of England who wanted to adopt Sharia Law?

#15 TW, that comment about the eternal destination of those in the C of E who do such things was extremely percipient of you. It's a rare thing to find such awareness coming from members of the "senior circuit," as it were, and I want you to know I appreciate it all the more because it came from you.

And yes, I completely share that sentiment. They will have a lot of issues for which they will be called to account.
