No wonder the Uniting Church is dying:

A Uniting minister said:

"Good Friday should be dumped as a public holiday and replaced with a national reconciliation day recognising Aborigines as integral to Australia’s identity, a Melbourne cleric says. The Reverend John Evans, the Uniting Church Minister at the Church of All Nations in Carlton, said Good Friday had lost its religious significance outside the Christian community."

Andrew Bolt said:

"Here is a minister demanding his holiest day be turned from a contemplation of Christ’s sacrifice for all men and women, to a comtemplation of a racial agenda. It’s a change from seeing people as united under God to seeing them divided by race. From seeing each as an individual to seeing them as members of a tribe. And, of course, it’s a turning from the religious to the secular.
Why doesn’t the priest just enter politics instead? "

What the ? GP
