😳 Church Leaders Urge Priests to Give Context of Christmas Carols so ‘Diverse Communities Feel Welcome’
UK church leaders have been accused of “losing the plot” after asking clergy to use language to celebrate Christmas which won’t add “further tension.” (Mail on Sunday)
An email sent to clergy in the Birmingham Diocese, reportedly said: Lo He Comes With Clouds Descending contained “problematic words” for stating Jesus is the “true Messiah.”
The hymn O come, O Come, Emmanuel, was also singled out for the phrase “captive Israel” - which is sung in its first verse.
