The Rt Rev Michael Nazir-Ali, who ends his time as Bishop of Rochester next week, says the Church of England must speak out more to preserve the country’s Christian heritage and offer moral guidance to the masses.
He also claims that liberal Anglicans around the world who are following contemporary culture rather than the teachings of the Bible are effectively following a different faith.
Dr Nazir-Ali, who was born in Pakistan, became the church’s first Asian bishop when he was appointed to Rochester in 1994 and came to be seen as a contender for the next Archbishop of Canterbury. However, the job went to Dr Rowan Williams.
Last year Dr Nazir-Ali claimed some parts of Britain had become “no-go areas” for non-Muslims, and boycotted a once-a-decade gathering of senior Anglicans in protest at the presence of liberal American bishops.
