- Bishop Ceirion H. Dewar warned that removing Christianity creates a moral vacuum in society.
A controversy has erupted in the United Kingdom as an Anglican bishop defended mass Islamic prayers held in London’s Trafalgar Square.
Bishop Arun Arora dismissed concerns that the public display represented an act of religious conquest, comparing the event to Christian services of lamentation.
Critics argue that public Islamic rituals, including the adhan, serve as a declaration of domination over a nation with deep Christian roots.
Member of Parliament Nick Timothy warned that these displays explicitly reject the divinity of Jesus Christ and the doctrine of the Holy Trinity.
“Remove Christianity from the story of Britain and you do not create a neutral society — you create a moral vacuum,” wrote Bishop Dewar in an open letter.
As believers witness the erosion of Christian heritage in the West, we must remain steadfast in our commitment to the Truth of the Gospel and the defense of our faith.
We ask for your continued prayers for the restoration of biblical foundations in our nations.
