Woe is the world i live in

Well not really the world but just England and Christianity in general i guess.
I dunno why i blog so much about God, maybe even though i'm a pathetic christian, coming to England has made me more aware about my faith.
Here are a few things that are going on in the UK that might alarm you folks, it's just the beginning of a slippery slope that i fear the world is following. Of course, the greater we descend into global malaise it's just another sign of the coming of the end times, but still we shouldn't lose hope and just despair that the world is going pot and we should jus sit back and wait for rapture to take us up.
The UK in and out of parliament has thus far debated or is debating th following issues. While i cannot lend my name to any form of political petition, i can at least write about my views.

1. Govt. funding for a multimillion pound mosque that would be the largest in Europe.There's plenty of muslim support for this no doubt and the Christian Community has been so cowed into either complacency of fear of isolation that it it doing nothing. Apparently new churches are not being built at all in the UK, of course not an indication of anything but old ones are closing and being refurbished into pubs.

2. The banning of faith based schools and in related topics, the banning of prescribed rights and wrongs etc. While this cuts both ways for all faiths, it's generally the devil's work of preventing Godly values from being taught. on the other hand i actually see this as a good thing, faith based schools build insularism and discrimination of others. perhaps the problems that society faces now is due to teh fact that the children are so segregated at birth and during their formative years

3. Forcing christian adoption agencies to let gay couples adopt kids. Erm i don't think this needs explaining. I mean first politics says that state and religion should be separate, now the state wants to impose on religion. sheesh.

4. Gay marriages well that's so well past but it's still strange. Some churches are even renting out their premises for weddings just for the moeny, like that church is leicester that rented out their premises for the filming of the Da Vinci Code.

Well all isnt' lost.
The anglican church and other anglican and episcopal churches have finally issued an ultimatum to the American episcopal church regarding the ordinance of gay priests and on gay marriages.
I'm not sure of the wording and while i hateto hear that they reached a '#compromise' i guess it's a move in the right direction rather than just turning a blind eye.
