Interesting with regard to the Diocese of Durham comment. In the 80’s the Bishop Of Durham, I can’t remember his name now made a comment about his disbelief in the virgin birth and other biblical tenets that I can’t remember. Shortly after, York Minster where he had been consecrated a few days before, was hit by lightening. Marvellous reaction from the vengeful Almighty god! You don’t mess with scripture!

Racist asshole

Possibly worth pointing out here that Gavin Ashendon is not Church of England, having left it a few years ago when he resigned from his role as chaplain to the queen in protest at a sermon in which sections of the Koran were read. He's now a bishop in the Christian Episcopal Church, which is based in the USA and was formed for people who feel modern Christianity is too liberal.

All in all, a bit of a nutjob (indeed a total nutjob by English standards, as our religious leaders tend to be far less mad than American ones) and not really worth paying any attention to at all.

In the sense "contradictory" they are antithetic. However, together with Judaism and its fore-runners, they are all Abrahamic in their roots.
