Why is nobody frightened of the Church of England?

Has your child's school stopped performing Nativity plays? Tell Us in the Comment box below

Mark Pritchard, Conservative MP for The Wrekin, has spoken out, following the news that only one in five schools now runs a Nativity play and that some councils are trying to squash Christmas for fear of offending other religions (a pitiful reason) or calling it Winterval, or some other such contrived name.

On top of all that we have a Christian group properly complaining that "the guts have been torn out of blasphemy laws" because they have been told they have no right to prosecute Jerry Springer: The Opera.

Quentin Letts, of the Daily Mail, has pointed out that he, as a "middle-stump Christian", felt offended by the spectacle in the show of a grown man wearing a nappy and purporting to be Jesus Christ.

As Letts points out, everyone is frightened of Islam these days, but nobody is frightened of the Church of England.

I think possibly the church has lost its respect, and shows why churches together just doesn't work, as one is tarred for the other. Possibly?

-additionally the church of england no longer beheads people and issues fatwa's! Although the muslim communities do have exactly that - a community, and meaning as theyre traditional and of aold - everyone is catered for, where as society today lives in an every evolving society, where everyones isnt uniform, still that is merely an opinion
