Telegraph | News | C of E 'shies away' from converting others

Wat is die kerk se standpunt ten opsigte van evangelisasie onder Moslems? Dit wil die lidmate van die Anglikaanse kerk in Engeland weet.

The Church of England was accused yesterday of shying away from its sacred duty of trying to convert Muslims and people of other faiths to Christianity.

Paul Eddy, a member of the General Synod, the Church's ruling body, said that the active recruitment of non-believers had always been a Biblical injunction on Christians.

But he claimed that the bishops were deliberately down-playing evangelisation among other faiths for fear of upsetting minority groups and their role in inter-faith talks.
