Default Vicars should grow BEARDS to reach out to Muslims in their areas, says Bishop of Lond


  • Rt Rev. Richard Chartres praised two priests who had grown bushy beards
  • Applauded their desire to reach out to the 'majority of their parishioners'
  • Bishop described his own beard, which he grew in the 1970s, as modest
  • He also said 'saint' David Beckham encouraged men to grow facial hair

The Bishop of London has applauded two London priests for 'reaching out' to their Muslim parishioners by growing 'opulent' beards.

Rt Reverend Richard Chartres singled out two priests in Tower Hamlets - the Rev. Adam Atkinson, Vicar of St Peter's church in Bethnal Green, and Rev. Cris Rogers of All Hallows Bow, who have grown bushy beards.
Writing in the Church Times, Rev. Chartres, who himself sports a 'modest' beard, said: 'The discovery that two of the most energetic priests in east London had recently grown beards of an opulence that would not have disgraced a Victorian sage prompted me to look again at the barbate debate throughout Church history.

'The two priests work in parishes in Tower Hamlets. Most of the residents are Bangladeshi-Sylheti, for whom the wearing of a beard is one of the marks of a holy man.'

He said the desire of the clergy of Tower Hamlets to 'reach out to the culture of the majority of their parishioners can only be applauded'.

Great more pandering, the people that move to this country must understand that, you can't enforce your way of life too the land that you live in, if you don't like are way of life then don't move here, nobody in this country, should be made into a token pawn to people that hate this country, no country should have too change its culture and life just because someone sets foot here and says that we have to give up are way of life to appease them, no thank you.

All holy teacher types should have mandatory beards and facial tattoos. So that I can avoid them.

Can't see the local mosques doing much to integrate themselves with the locals. Quite the reverse. The Christian church makes itself a doormat with idiots like him at the helm.

LOL. Notable that these pillocks are based in Tower Hamlets where "Most of the residents are Bangladeshi-Sylheti" and which has one of the most corrupt councils in the UK.

Is it any wonder the Christian Church is losing credence when out-of-touch-with-reality old twonks like these are engaging in such infuriating nonsense?

"for whom the wearing of a beard is one of the marks of a holy man.'

No one KNOWS whether Christ had a beard, and if he did then it was probably because Gillette razors weren't all that freely available from the local supermarket.

Further; how many 'Holy Men' are among this bunch of evil bearded freakos?:

Peter Sutcliffe
Bin Laden
Ghengis Kahn
Harold Shipman.
Abu Hamzar

These dickheads want sectioning - including the Bishop of London.
