Ekklesia: BNP helping to establish church based around racial ideology

In an interview on Three Counties Radio tonight (Thursday) 'Reverend' Robert West, who is also a member of Lincolnshire Community Council, said that the BNP were ‘facilitating’ the establishment of the church going under the name of the Christian Council of Britain (CCoB).
 
The confirmation followed speculation previously reported by Ekklesia, that members of the British National Party (BNP) were involved in setting up a ‘Christian front.'…
 
…The 'Christian Council of Britain' has reportedly been set up by members of the BNP to rival the Muslim Council of Britain
 
The CCoB appears to have been formed to enable BNP supporters to join in protests at regional theatres against 'Jerry Springer: The Opera' which have been organised by conservative group Christian Voice…
 
West told the presenter of the G Focus programme Howard McCalla, that the Christian Council was still in the process of being set up.
 
“The Christian Council of Britain is a group set up to represent Christian values and the Christian Heritage of the country” he said.
 
“A big problem with the institutional churches is that they seem to have lost their way.”
 
When asked who he was referring to, West said he was referring to The Church of England, The Methodists and a “large number of Baptists.”
 
“They have almost become extinct in their faithfulness to holy scripture” he said.
 
Both the Methodist Church and the Church of England spoke out strongly against extremist parties in the run up to recent local, national and European elections.
