Very interesting combination of culture and art to get people talking and thinking about marginalised communities!

Christianity spread to Africa long before Europe

The oldest Bible in the world by a country mile is the Ethiopian one

A "good" Christian is a rare find nowadays.

It's all so ugly-looking that it makes me think the "marginalised" communities need to be taken to see some classical art.

Graffiti is criminal damage viewed through through the eyes of the terminally Left Wing.

It’s a good job they’re stickers in this case isn’t it. Stickers that have triggered the right wing snowflakes.

[Livia]

Can you imagine these stickers in a mosque? No, me neither. The only people who think this was a good idea are the pearl-clutchers in Canterbury, a bearded man wearing a dress whose mediocre "art" has been exhibited and DEI Lefties. Christianity was just starting to grow in this Christian country, the Church of England, tone deaf and woolly, are doing their best to stop that

You never fail to make everything about Muslims, even when it’s a story about the Church of England embarrassing itself. The irony is that your outrage actually proves the point of the exhibition. It was meant to show how intolerant and performatively offended people have become about anything that challenges their narrow view of what “Christianity” should look like. The church didn’t need help looking out of touch, but you’ve managed to make it look positively enlightened by comparison.

The Church is one of the first safe spaces for many people. It does not need all this additional messaging in order to achieve that end.

I have zero issue with Graffiti art, I personally like the style when I've seen them in an underpass etc.

But a Church (like any other Religious building tbf) I would personally like to keep it's more traditional aesthetic that we all associate with a Church.

Graffiti art just doesn't give off the right vibe for a Church imo.

I know that I'm not explaining it very well, but I do like certain stuff to follow traditional aesthetics.

I'm not always a fan of "subverting expectations."

• Jonathan Fletcher and John Smyth – Prominent evangelical leaders linked to networks within the Church. Both accused of years of violent and sexual abuse. The Church admitted a pattern of enabling behaviour among leadership.

• Financial mismanagement – Criticism of how church funds and properties are handled. Some clergy lived lavishly while parishes struggled to stay open.

• Discrimination against women and LGBTQ people – The Church resisted female bishops until 2014. It continues to ban same-sex marriage in church despite public pressure and internal division. Gay clergy have been forced to hide their relationships or resign.

• Safeguarding failures – Reports show repeated mishandling of abuse claims, with whistleblowers silenced and victims re-traumatised.

• Racial inequality – In 2020 the Church’s own review called it “institutionally racist,” admitting decades of tokenism and exclusion of Black clergy.

Don’t know why anyone is expected to take this seriously.

That's definitely a lot of offenses.

Is that all they are?

I'm just slowly catching up.
