Church holds 'inclusive' birthday party for Muhammad, Jesus
'They are rejecting the crucifixion, denying the resurrection of Christ'
Published: 14 hours ago
The theological fur is flying after a Church of England congregation hosted a joint birthday celebration for Muhammad and Jesus, with the church being accused of rejecting the fundamentals of the Christian faith.
The “Milad, Advent and Christmas Celebration” took place Sunday, Dec. 3, at All Saints Church in Kingston upon Thames and was organized with the Kingston Inter-Faith Forum and the South London Inter-Faith Group.
Milad, or Milwad, is the celebration of Muhammad’s birth.

“Marking the birthday of Prophet Muhammad and looking forward to the birthday of Jesus,” the flyer for the event read. “With provision for prayer at Asr and Maghrib and followed by the cutting of the birthday cake and Rizwan’s ‘High Tea.'”
That drew the attention and ire of Adrian Hilton, publisher of Archbishop Cranmer, one of the U.K.’s most popular political and highest-ranking religion blogs. Thomas Cranmer, an early Protestant reformer burned at the stake in 1556, was responsible for the Anglican Book of Common Prayer.
“Note how this event is ‘Marking the birthday of Prophet Muhammad,’ but not looking forward to the birthday of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God,” wrote Hilton. “Muhammad gets his prophethood, while Jesus gets neither his prophethood nor his priesthood; neither his kingship nor his messiahship. It’s the exalted Prophet Muhammad along with plain old Jesus, because to have added any of his claims to divinity would, of course, have alienated many Muslims (if they hadn’t already been alienated by the haram celebration), which wouldn’t have been very interfaith or sensitively missional, would it?”
Acknowledging Muhammad as “Prophet” is no small thing, Hilton argued. Islam claims its founder came to fulfil and complete the partial revelation of those prophets who came before, including Jesus. Indeed, Jesus’ words to his disciples that after departing He would send them the Comforter, the “Spirit of Truth that proceeds from the Father” (John 15:26) – seen by Christians as a promise of the Holy Spirit – are viewed in Islam as a prophecy announcing Muhammad.
“Every time a church accords Muhammad the epithet ‘Prophet,’ they are rejecting the crucifixion, denying the resurrection of Christ, and refuting that the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us, for Muhammad denied all of these foundational tenets of the Christian faith,” says Hilton.
Despite the criticism, a spokesman for the Diocese of Southwark defended holding the interfaith event, saying “it was not a service and … broke no Canon law.”
It “enabled Christians, Muslims and others to meet together in order to promote better understanding, conversation, and relationships.”
This is not the first time the Church of England has been taken to task for attempting to mix Christianity and Islam.
Westminster Abbey earlier hosted a service during which Muhammad was named in the succession of prophets. During a January 2017 church service in celebration of the Feast of Epiphany at St. Mary’s Episcopal in Glasgow, the Quran was read in Arabic by a young Muslim woman who chose as her passage one that declared Jesus was not the Son of God.
“To have a reading from the Quran at that point was a fairly serious error for the Christian worshiping community,” commented Rev. Gavin Ashenden, then chaplain to the queen. “But to choose the reading they chose doubled the error. Of all passages you might have read likely to cause offense, that was one of the most problematic.”
Ashenden subsequently resigned the chaplaincy so he could be free to “speak on behalf of the faith.”
While the Scottish church issued a statement saying it was “distressed” at what had occurred, no apology was issued.
Last month, WND reported that an elementary school in Norway had incorporated readings from the Quran into its Christmas celebration.
America is headed down a suicidal path and not many Americans understand the full extent of the problem. Get all the details in Leo Hohmann’s “Stealth Invasion: Muslim Conquest Through Immigration and Resettlement Jihad,” available now in hard copy or e-book at the WND Superstore.
According to anti-Shariah activist Pamela Geller, this has all sadly become par for the course.
“This is a sign of the times in Europe,” said Geller, author of “Stop the Islamization of America.” “It’s as if the Europeans know who their new masters and overlords are. The same spirit of appeasement and submission that animates such initiatives in Europe is alive and well here.”
Indeed, 50 U.S. churches in 26 states invited Muslim clergy to come and read from the Quran in their sanctuaries in 2011. It was part of the “Faith Shared: Uniting in Prayer and Understanding” initiative, a project of Interfaith Alliance and Human Rights First. The project was an effort to counter “anti-Muslim bigotry” at a time when Quran burnings had been in the news. The Washington National Cathedral was one of the churches that took part in the initiative.
Leo Hohmann, WND news editor and author of “Stealth Invasion: Muslim Conquest Through Immigration and the Resettlement Jihad,” had harsh words for the Christians who have allowed the Muslim holy book to be read in their sacred spaces.
“Allowing the Quran to be read inside a church is the equivalent of the ancient Israelites setting up an image of a false god in the Holy of Holies,” Hohmann declared. “It’s blasphemous. Why? Because the Quran denies the deity of Christ, denies that God is a Father or that he had a Son, and also denies the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ. What’s left of Christianity that Islam and the Quran do not deny?”

Thank you, God. We no longer belong to England. Thanks to our founding fathers and the many who gave up their lives and fortunes to separate us from those arrogant and defiant, blood sucking tyrants. And how many lives and how much American blood has
been shed to save their cowardly souls with the exception of Winston Churchill who was half American and whose mother's American money went to shore up his English family's fortune and pride? Indeed, May can condemn Trump all she wants. He's so much stronger and truer than she is. I'll bet there are a lot of Brits who disagree with that
English Angela Merkel. And look where A. Merkel came from...behind the iron curtain?
Educated there through University, where you might imagine her politics began.
I'll bet not a few English are wishing for a new Margaret Thatcher. She and Ronald Reagan were a pair.

The stupid people in Europe have been converted to Islam. Angela Merkel even allows German women to be raped by Muslims as she justified them calling "it is the Muslim culture".
That FICTION BOOK of Brown that destroyed and lied about the divinity of Jesus. Brown sold millions of his fiction book, and made hundreds of millions of dollars selling and destroyed Jesus to the world. Stupid majority of the Europeans became Atheists and patronized Mohammad the criminal who killed and enslaved those people he could not convince to follow his military and religious theocracy.
That is why the Quran's most important commandment is KILL ALL THOSE WHO DON'T CONVERT. Or kill all the infidels the most painful means. Okay, read the Quran, there are so many phrases there commanding the Muslims to killing all the infidels. And those Muslims who kill many infidels are rewarded by their god and made as prophets.
Islam is the Antithesis of Christianity.
The greatest commandments of Christ is :
"Love God above all things, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind."
The next one is "Love thy neighbor as thyself" These two commandments cover all.
But for Islam's commandment: Kill all the infidels the most painful means, if they don't convert.
Chop off their heads, burn them alive, bury them alive, drain their blood, and chop off the children's heads.
Chop off their limbs, arms and legs, and heads until finally dead. Read your Quran, they are all written.
According to Obama, Islam is the religion of peace. That is why Muslims are killing each other in the Middle East, and now running to the West to invade, terrorize, and take our country for their god, as ordered by the criminal Mohammad!

Mohammad and his armies made his Quran in Mecca during the 7th century, copied some of the phrases from the Old Testament. Then Mohammad drove his armies to the Middle East and beyond chopping off heads of Christians and Jews, who existed in that land more than 3500 years before Mohammad made his Quran. Muslims invaded in Jerusalem in 637 AD. That was 637 years after the death of Christ. Mohammad's armies killed Christians and Jews they could find, raped the women, and enslaved the remaining Christians. Required them to pay the highest tax the Christians could not afford. Then those who could not pay were killed by the Muslim. Muslims destroyed the Church of Christ in Jerusalem. Then in 1095, Pope Urban II sent the Crusades to take back the Church of Christ, and to protect the Christians being killed by Muslims.
When Crusades arrived in Jerusalem to protect the Christians, Obama in 2016 "All faith meeting at the WH", attacked the Christian Crusades for killing Muslims. He ignored the fact that Crusades went to Jerusalem to protect Christians from being killed and women raped by the armies of Mohammad. Then the Crusades took back the Church of Christ destroyed by the armies of Mohammad. Obama hates the Christians by his actions, and love Islam. Then he announced during the all faith meeting, after attacking Christians, that "islam is a religion of peace".
Mohammad is not a prophet. He is a pedophile who used military aggression and terror to spread a false Ideology.
Funny how the airheadone isn't attacking this pedophile.

During a January 2017 church service in celebration of the Feast of Epiphany at St. Mary’s Episcopal in Glasgow, the Quran was read in Arabic by a young Muslim woman who chose as her passage one that declared Jesus was not the Son of God.
“To have a reading from the Quran at that point was a fairly serious error for the Christian worshiping community,” commented Rev. Gavin Ashenden, then chaplain to the queen. “But to choose the reading they chose doubled the error. Of all passages you might have read likely to cause offense, that was one of the most problematic.”
Ashenden subsequently resigned the chaplaincy so he could be free to “speak on behalf of the faith.”
While the Scottish church issued a statement saying it was “distressed” at what had occurred, no apology was issued.
Last month, WND reported that an elementary school in Norway had incorporated readings from the Quran into its Christmas celebration.
America is headed down a suicidal path and not many Americans understand the full extent of the problem. Get all the details in Leo Hohmann’s “Stealth Invasion: Muslim Conquest Through Immigration and Resettlement Jihad,” available now in hard copy or e-book at the WND Superstore.
According to anti-Shariah activist Pamela Geller, this has all sadly become par for the course.
“This is a sign of the times in Europe,” said Geller, author of “Stop the Islamization of America.” “It’s as if the Europeans know who their new masters and overlords are. The same spirit of appeasement and submission that animates such initiatives in Europe is alive and well here.”
Indeed, 50 U.S. churches in 26 states invited Muslim clergy to come and read from the Quran in their sanctuaries in 2011. It was part of the “Faith Shared: Uniting in Prayer and Understanding” initiative, a project of Interfaith Alliance and Human Rights First. The project was an effort to counter “anti-Muslim bigotry” at a time when Quran burnings had been in the news. The Washington National Cathedral was one of the churches that took part in the initiative.
Leo Hohmann, WND news editor and author of “Stealth Invasion: Muslim Conquest Through Immigration and the Resettlement Jihad,” had harsh words for the Christians who have allowed the Muslim holy book to be read in their sacred spaces.
“Allowing the Quran to be read inside a church is the equivalent of the ancient Israelites setting up an image of a false god in the Holy of Holies,” Hohmann declared. “It’s blasphemous. Why? Because the Quran denies the deity of Christ, denies that God is a Father or that he had a Son, and also denies the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ. What’s left of Christianity that Islam and the Quran do not deny?”

England is already 2/3 Muslims, what do you expect. The fiction book of Brown mislead most people in England to abandon their Christian faith since the early centuries. They are now so brainwashed by the Muslims. Most in Europe is taken by Muslims. They go to hell, stupid and dumb. Now they will again embrace slavery of their own.
Thank God, president Trump is our president. He put back Christianity to our lives and homes.
During the term of Mr. Obama, US was almost taken by Islam, as Mr. Obama, prohibited Christians kids in schools from exercising their faith. But instead required public schools to teaching Islam religion, and kids required to recite, Islam, allah, and their prophet Mohammad as their god.
Christmas tree was removed from the WH, but they put up a tree called "Holiday Tree" where the picture of Mao Tse Tung was decorated on the tree.
This makes me sick. What's happening in Europe, especially England, will cross the Atlantic in the next ten years. For 200 yrs Americans didn't follow the practices of Europe but the left wants to be like the rest of the world. They don't want to stand out as a country that thinks for itself. This has always been a country founded on Christian principles and Christian law. Christians must FIGHT for this country just as our military does
. we stood quietly while one atheist removed prayer from schools and then it was like dominos, one religious freedom after the other has fallen. No Bible study after school yet Muslims can do whatever they want without recrimination. God bless and help us to stand for Him.
Radiance 3 and NannyPat39 both have a very correct analysis. Thanks.

Church holds 'inclusive' birthday party for Muhammad, Jesus
'They are rejecting the crucifixion, denying the resurrection of Christ'
Published: 14 hours ago
The theological fur is flying after a Church of England congregation hosted a joint birthday celebration for Muhammad and Jesus, with the church being accused of rejecting the fundamentals of the Christian faith.
The “Milad, Advent and Christmas Celebration” took place Sunday, Dec. 3, at All Saints Church in Kingston upon Thames and was organized with the Kingston Inter-Faith Forum and the South London Inter-Faith Group.
Milad, or Milwad, is the celebration of Muhammad’s birth.

“Marking the birthday of Prophet Muhammad and looking forward to the birthday of Jesus,” the flyer for the event read. “With provision for prayer at Asr and Maghrib and followed by the cutting of the birthday cake and Rizwan’s ‘High Tea.'”
That drew the attention and ire of Adrian Hilton, publisher of Archbishop Cranmer, one of the U.K.’s most popular political and highest-ranking religion blogs. Thomas Cranmer, an early Protestant reformer burned at the stake in 1556, was responsible for the Anglican Book of Common Prayer.
“Note how this event is ‘Marking the birthday of Prophet Muhammad,’ but not looking forward to the birthday of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God,” wrote Hilton. “Muhammad gets his prophethood, while Jesus gets neither his prophethood nor his priesthood; neither his kingship nor his messiahship. It’s the exalted Prophet Muhammad along with plain old Jesus, because to have added any of his claims to divinity would, of course, have alienated many Muslims (if they hadn’t already been alienated by the haram celebration), which wouldn’t have been very interfaith or sensitively missional, would it?”
Acknowledging Muhammad as “Prophet” is no small thing, Hilton argued. Islam claims its founder came to fulfil and complete the partial revelation of those prophets who came before, including Jesus. Indeed, Jesus’ words to his disciples that after departing He would send them the Comforter, the “Spirit of Truth that proceeds from the Father” (John 15:26) – seen by Christians as a promise of the Holy Spirit – are viewed in Islam as a prophecy announcing Muhammad.
“Every time a church accords Muhammad the epithet ‘Prophet,’ they are rejecting the crucifixion, denying the resurrection of Christ, and refuting that the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us, for Muhammad denied all of these foundational tenets of the Christian faith,” says Hilton.
Despite the criticism, a spokesman for the Diocese of Southwark defended holding the interfaith event, saying “it was not a service and … broke no Canon law.”
It “enabled Christians, Muslims and others to meet together in order to promote better understanding, conversation, and relationships.”

I think Gellar said it best. "It's as if the Europeans know who their new masters and overseers are", before Islam it was socialism. Hopefully we in America will refuse to accept masters and overseers
