Vicars face sack for joining the BNP or National Front because far-right parties are 'incompatible' with Christian teaching, say bishops
Policies of organisations are 'incompatible' with core Christian values

Clergy who support or join the British National Party or National Front will face disciplinary proceedings under a new resolution passed by the Church of England.

Church of England bishops have backed a declaration stating that the policies, activities and objectives of the two far-right parties are 'incompatible' with Christian teaching on racial equality.

The move means that a complaint of misconduct can be brought under the Clergy Discipline Measure against any cleric who is a member of, promotes or expresses support for the two parties.

The General Synod, or national assembly of the Church of England, will have an opportunity to debate and give formal approval to the declaration when it meets in York next month. If there is no debate, the declaration will automatically come into force at the start of the meeting.

Members of the General Synod of the Church of England are set to approve a proposal that will mean clergy who support or join the British National Party or National Front will face disciplinary proceedings.

    “Policies of organisations are ‘incompatible’ with core Christian values”

    What a joke, Christianity started life as a state enforced thought and belief intolerant political dictatorship. Organised religions are all about politics not spirituality, only politics needs a consensus to operate. Only Christianity hides it’s political soliciting and canvassing as political spin evangelising.

    :lol:
