What is this bishop thinking about? Doesn’t he realize that Islam is out to destroy the Church? This is an idiotic move! Hat tip to Judah of Judah’s Journal for drawing my attention to this news item:

THE TELEGRAPH: The Bishop of Oxford has supported plans to broadcast the Islamic call to prayer over part of the historic city.

Welcoming proposals from Oxford's Central Mosque to sound the call three times a day over East Oxford, the Rt Rev John Pritchard said those opposed to the plan should "relax" and "enjoy community diversity".

The bishop also rejected claims by the Anglican Church's only Asian bishop that sounding the call in Britain represented an attempt to "impose an Islamic character" on some areas. Oxford bishop backs Islamic call to prayer >>> By Laura Clout
