Life is just a bowl of All-Bran…

Another angle on this issue. The CU is now officially disaffiliated from the Guild, and is pressing on with its mission this week.

The alarmist headline comes not from the Christian press, but from the Birmingham Post.

BUECU (Birmingham University Evangelical Christian Union) is no longer recognised as an official society because it will not allow people of any and all faiths (or none) to become members and leaders.

Let’s think of this another way. Is the Guild seriously suggesting that a Christian should be able to become president of the Muslim society?  Might it be that the same Muslim society could be thrown open to (say) members of far-right organisations planting members in there to deliberately destabilise it? The President of the Guild claims that fifteen other faith organisations have already agreed to these changes – why on earth would anyone want someone unsympathetic to the aims of their organisation to be a leader or even a member?

I hesitate to use a Daily Mail-style cliche, but this really is political correctness gone mad!

That rare thing: the Guardian has an article about something Christians are doing that doesn’t run it down or give the usual negative spin.

I may read the Guardian, but it doesn’t represent my faith in any way!

The Manchester Eden Project gets a good write-up, anyway.
