Churches in West Suffolk are raising every penny they can to keep the roof up.

Many have valuable - sometimes unique - architectural features.

They are all part of our national story - our inheritance.

For Lambeth Palace to pursue gesture politics with such huge sums - while our churches crumble - is grotesque.

Like Welby before her, the Archbishop is indulging in theologically nonsensical politics.

Welby said, “there can be forgiveness [of those from the past now deemed unacceptable], but only if there’s justice: if we change the way we behave now.”

Just the same, the Archbishop says “I pray that we have the courage to continue our journey of repentance.”

But we cannot repent the sins of others. Forgiveness is not conditional on the behaviour of different people and generations.

The Bible says, “a son will not bear the iniquity of the father, and a father will not bear the iniquity of the son.”

This money should be invested in our parish churches.

@Islam435 But raping and murdering non Muslims is OK according to your prophet. I call that evil, and him evil.

[Lucy Ivimy @LucyIvimy]

@korrathetaymi The Bible says nothing of the kind!

[Lucy Ivimy @LucyIvimy]

@korrathetaymi The New Testament does not copy the Old Testament. It fulfils some of its prophesies.

@Abdulhadi_Pen Historically, Islam has spread through force, conquest, and the execution of those who refuse to submit.

Worth reading.

Some people are asking why Spain still possesses territory in North Africa. A better question might be why North Africa is now Muslim and predominantly Arab.

The Mediterranean coast of North Africa was part of the Roman Empire. During the early centuries of Christianity, the region became such a stronghold of the faith that one historian described it as the “Bible Belt” of the ancient world. Three popes came from North Africa, and Latin became the dominant language in urban areas. This strong community of Christians in North African actually contributed significantly to the early spread of the faith into the Iberian Peninsula.

The character of the region began to change after Muslim Arab armies conquered the region in the seventh century. Those same forces also crossed into Europe, with the Moors conquering most of the Iberian Peninsula. Christianity survived in North Africa for several centuries but steadily declined as Christians faced forced conversion, persecution, and exile. Spanish and Portuguese efforts to recover territory in North Africa met with limited success. One notable exception was Ceuta, which Portugal captured in 1415. Ceuta held an important strategic location, as it had been a base used to launch the attacks on Spain and Portugal that led to the long subjugation by Muslims there.

After its conquest by Portugal, Ceuta again became overwhelmingly Christian. It later came under the Spanish Crown in the late 16th century. Morocco besieged the city from 1694 to 1727 in one of the longest sieges in history, but Spain retained control. Since Morocco gained independence in 1956, it has continued to dispute Spanish sovereignty over the territory.

Over the centuries, Muslims gradually returned to Ceuta. Economic migration, combined with higher birth rates among the city’s Muslim population, has substantially changed its demographics. Today, Muslims make up roughly half of Ceuta’s population.

Looking at the last 2,100 years of Ceuta’s history, the city has spent considerably more time as part of the Christian European world than under Arab-Muslim rule. It has never been part of the modern Kingdom of Morocco. The claim that Muslim-majority Morocco has an inherent right to Ceuta because it is located in North Africa ignores the greater part of the region’s history.

@Islam435 Certainly the most murderous and intolerant religion.

🚨NEWS: Three women found dead on a small migrant boat are believed to have been raped and murdered during the Channel crossing.

Their killers are now in the UK.

@korrathetaymi The Quran is a garbled copy of the Bible.

[Lucy Ivimy @LucyIvimy]

@supertanskiii 1976 was just as dry.

[Basil the Great @BasilTheGreat]

To the leftists claiming Ceuta does not belong to Spain because it was taken in 1415

Are you going to tell the Turks to give Constantinople back to the Christians?

Cos they took that in 1453

[Lucy Ivimy @LucyIvimy]

@Kryptotajeer There is nothing merciful about being raped and murdered for not being Muslim.

[Lucy Ivimy @LucyIvimy]

@Kryptotajeer Word of mouth. He heard the stories.

[Lucy Ivimy @LucyIvimy]

@Kryptotajeer Since Muhammad was a robber, murderer, slaver and rapist, I’m not sure that it helps you.

[Lucy Ivimy @LucyIvimy]

@Islam435 Your prophet robbed, murdered, enslaved, raped and preached hatred for those who did not follow him. All these things are evil.

[Lucy Ivimy @LucyIvimy]

@Ed_Miliband What are you doing about the arsonists?

[Lucy Ivimy @LucyIvimy]

@harleydarlings Arson for sure.

[Lucy Ivimy @LucyIvimy]

@andrewc44104127 As Allah is Satan, I’m glad to
have a dog to keep him away.

[Lucy Ivimy @LucyIvimy]

@Moazzam_Begg What is your point? Memorising something in a language you don’t understand? Why?

[Lucy Ivimy @LucyIvimy]

A hotter summer encourages people to commit arson. Who would have guessed?

The wildfires in Europe remind us that the climate crisis is happening now. It knows no borders and impacts us all.

The UK, France and Spain are committed to the Paris Agreement. We will continue working together to build resilience and tackle climate change.
