Church Issues “Anti-Racist” Guide With Baffling Prayer Suggestions

by Richard Eldred
9 March 2025 11:00 AM

Christians should avoid “Eurocentric” prayers in order to be more inclusive, according to guidance from a Church of England diocese. The Mail has more.

In what is believed to be the first example of Church of England prayer being subject to diversity plans, the Diocese of Norwich has issued parishes with an “anti-racist toolkit”.

The toolkit tells priests to ensure prayers are not “entirely Eurocentric”.

It says: “Invite people to say the Lord’s Prayer in their own language and ensure that intercessions are aligned with the concerns of the congregation and are not entirely Eurocentric.”

The guidance for around 650 churches, mostly in rural East Anglia, also says churches should seek to “include different languages and topics in the prayers” and “display images that reflect diversity in the Body of Christ”.

It also tells churches to recognise special days which people from ethnic minorities may celebrate, such as Racial Justice Sunday.

Using different languages in songs and hymns to improve “linguistic diversity and intercultural worship” in music is encouraged. …

The advice, written by the Norwich Diocese’s Racial Justice Action Group, says that the diocese is “very white in terms of population, but the schools are becoming more and more diverse.

“It’s quite likely that in a few years, the ethnic makeup of some of our churches will start to reflect this.” …

It tells “mono-cultural” parishes to be particularly receptive to diversity, even if there is none in the parish.

“We should find ways to reflect that in our churches, even if someone from a different culture is not physically present,” it adds.

Worth reading in full.

Every decision involves a trade-off – which means that full data should be available and not waved away by a wave of an activists hand.

In my work, I’ve tried to obtain these sorts of data from official and/or reliable sources. It’s either extremely difficult or, more usually, the data is simply not available. And that’s before you have to face the possibility that some of the data is fake.

Perhaps windmill fires are as ‘rare’ as battery cars going up in flames and toxic smoke. There was a more unusual one where a battery scooter in the boot caught fire and burnt a normal car out.

‘exposed to the same flow of oxygen that fuels fire’
Glad they mentioned that. I’d have wondered otherwise …

It does seem to be written for the ‘hard of thinking’ doesn’t it… also there’s a quote an engine was damaged… surely they mean generator?

Unless they have a motor to make the turbine go round on calm days, to create the impression it’s doing some good, and create a breeze to drive the next turbine downwind?
Don’t worry, I’m not being serious.

Joking aside, I wonder if they do have a small diesel generator as a power backup of last resort… it certain conditions they need to be able to brake the thing, or furl the blades (I think that’s the term used)

Don’t worry they are connected to the Grid! But if that fails there will be a problem.

That’s what I meant – say your wind farm of 100 turbines loses its grid connection and a storm is coming, they must have some inbuilt backup power to park them / protect them somehow or you could lose the lot. Maybe some stored air or similar + batteries for control gear

Except on the days when it is too windy to generate electricity……
Ohh… but no problem the con-companies still get paid 🤔

The smoke from that fire is reall pollution. What will the greenies say – nothing, I suspect.

Not for nothing some three hundred years ago were all those dark satanic mills powered by the high density, high gradient, high continuity hydrocarbon energy that superseded flaky windmills and waterwheels inherently subject to the whims of weather.

And three hundred years later, dimwit politicians and media still don’t get it.

Bring me my bow of burning coal, bring me my arrows of fire.

What a good job wind energy is so cheap and plentiful. They’ll have plenty of money in the coffers to buy replacement turbines.
I’m in ironic mode today.

They destroy on so many levels and yet they are held to be benificent. You don’t need a clearer illustration of the Satanic nature of this agenda. You find it in every area of this project. Everything they produce is the very opposite of what it purports to be. The electric car is an increasingly conspicuous example. Just consider their conceit, the assumption that we would all just go along with this agenda and eat the bugs. It really shows you how much they are high on their own supply.

“Firefighters arrived to find a well-developed fire involving a wind turbine…”
I’m certain this fire would have been visible from some miles away.

I tried, a few years ago, to find Health and Safety statistics for Big Wind. Both onshore and offshore.

For some strange reason, official statistics of serious injury and fatalities were then hard to find.

No doubt the HSE are now all over the case, such a blatantly high risk workplace!

I well remember how keen Her Majesty’s Mining Inspectorate were, quite rightly!

Surely, it couldn’t be the case that different H&S approaches were applied to different industries??

Add that environmental hazard to the thousands of EVs that are catching fire when it is least expected. The fire caused by a damaged or faulty battery is very toxic and incredibly difficult to put out.
