Church cuts bishops where Muslims outnumber Christians by seven to one

By Tim Ross, Religious Affairs Editor 7:32PM GMT 09 Dec 2010

In some parishes in the Diocese of Bradford, more than 70% of residents are Muslims, while just 10% are Anglicans.

A Church of England commission has now recommended that Bradford should be merged with the dioceses of Ripon and Leeds, and Wakefield to form one larger organisation.

If approved by the General Synod of the Church of England, the “radical and realistic” move would ultimately save the church money in salaries by cutting back on the number of full diocesan bishops in the area.

Lower-paid area bishops would be appointed for Bradford, Huddersfield, Leeds, Ripon and Wakefield under the plan.

The Church report said the move would bring bishops “closer in every sense” to their local parish priests. The new arrangements would be more “efficient” for local churchgoers and faith schools, the commission said.

The proposals came after the Church reportedly had £1 billion wiped off its assets last year.

Dr Priscilla Chadwick, who chaired the review, said the plan was “mission-led and not finance-driven” although she acknowledged that “financial considerations cannot be ignored”.

The Diocese of Bradford was founded in 1919 and it was the Bishop of Bradford, the Rt Rev Alfred Blunt, who inadvertently exposed the abdication crisis of Edward VIII in 1936.

Me too but I'd stand by the christians if they ever did get together to fight the islamisation of our country. I mean, there must be millions of christians in UK, why aren't they being more active in uniting to support their own religion in the face of such serious threats?

They were losing money in the churches years ago because people strayed away from the churches, now the big business is in interfaithing, selling their souls to islam.

I wonder if the remaining Christians in Bradford will be attacked like they are in islamic countries when it gets to a certain level to drive them out.
