Multiculturalism has betrayed the English culture

says

Archbishop of York.

[With many well-known presenters in the media still hooked after many years on the mistaken belief in the mantra of multiculturalism as if it were a benefit to society when in reality it is meant to destroy our English culture as warned so successfully in the following article the Archbishop.

Before we commence  with the article we relate the circumstances

before the 1997 General Election when a reporter asked our opinion on multiculturalism and we said that we believed in each individual but NOT in multiculturalism, which even then was banded about as if it was a truism of almost sacred meaning which we would ignore at our peril. 

There is no need at this time to go into detail, as there is abundant examples in the many articles written almost daily by the opponents of the insidious infectious ideology intent on its purpose the destruction of our values and Englishness

MULTICULTURALISM HAS BETRAYED THE ENGLISH CULTURE SAYS ARCHBISHOP.

ENGLAND’S first African –born archbishop has launched a powerful attack on multiculturalism and defended the

British Empire.

Doctor John Sentamu, the new Archbishop of York, said multiculturalism ‘has seemed to imply, wrongly for me, that other cultures be allowed to express themselves but do not let the majority culture at all tell us its glories, its struggles, its joys, its pains’

His attack, delivered in his first interview, amounts to a ringing endorsement of the views of

Trevor Phillips

Head of the Government’s Commission of Racial Equality.

Mr Phillips has attacked multiculturalism-the Left-Wing dogma, which tries to denigrate English identity and encourage minority groups to develop their own separate cultures-as leading the country into  

‘sleep-walking to segregation’

He has since come under attack from a number of Left-Wing black spokesmen and Muslim leaders.

Dr Sentamu is a key figure in British race relations.  He was one of the leading authors of the Macpherson Report into the murder of black teenager Stephen Lawrence that established the idea of ‘institutionalised racism’, which bound police forces to tough new anti-racist codes.

As well as attacking multiculturalism, he called on the English to rediscover THEIR

National Identity

He also defended the British Empire and praised the English culture it spread around the world.

Dr Sentamu backed the idea of a revival of celebrations of St George’s day the English national day that has been treated with contempt by politicians and establishment figures.

The Ugandan-born cleric, who will be enthroned as number two in the Church of England later this month, declared:

‘I speak as a foreigner, really.  The English are somehow embarrassed about some of the good things they have done.

‘They have done some terrible things, but not all the empire was a bad idea.  Because the empire has gone, there is almost a sense in which there is not a big idea that drives this nation.’

The archbishop said in an interview with The Times:

‘What is it to be English?  It is a serious question. I think we have not engaged with English culture as it has developed.

When you ask a lot of people in this country,

“What is English Culture?”

-they are very vague. It is a culture that whether we like it or not, has given us parliamentary democracy.  It is the mother of it, it is the mother of arguing that if you want a change of government, you vote them in or you vote them out.’

He added: 

‘it is a place that has allowed reason to be at the heart of all these things, that has allowed genuine dissent without resort to violence, that has allowed all the fantastic music that we experience in our culture.

England is the culture I have lived in, I have loved.  My teachers were English. As a boy growing up, that is the culture I knew.’

Dr Sentamu’s defence of the spread of English culture around the world will be seen as a rebuke to the only cleric who is now his senior in the Church of England, the Archbishop of Canterbury Dr Rowan Williams.

Dr Williams said earlier this month that it had been a sin for Church missionaries to spread through Africa and the world the much- loved music contained in the Victorian hymnal Hymns Ancient and Modern.

Dr Sentamu, 58, was born one of 13 children and trained as a lawyer in Kampala, before falling foul of dictator Idi Amin.

He fled Uganda in 1974, and then was ordained a priest after reading theology at Cambridge.

By the late 1990s as a junior bishop in East London, he had become influential enough to be appointed one of three senior figures to help and advise Sir William Macpherson the

 Lawrence Report.

COMMENT COLUMN

(of the same date)

AT LAST the Church of England-so often timid, fatuous and achingly politically-correct-finds the voice to proclaim the worth of our

National Heritage

Dr Sentamu, Britain’s first black archbishop, attacks a multiculturalism that lets other cultures express themselves but doesn’t let the majority culture 

‘tell us its glories,

 its struggles,

 its joys’.

Too many, he declares, are embarrassed by their Englishness, when they should be quite the opposite.  He is full of praise for our democracy, magnanimity and tolerance of dissent.  And he insists our culture IS rooted in

 CHRISTIANITY.

In a nation that has so, lost its bearings that officials even try to discourage the

CELEBRATION

of

CHRISTMAS

His love for our traditions could not be more refreshing.

Should it really take a churchman born and brought up in Uganda to remind us?

WHY we have reason for pride?

[The first Archbishop of York was Egbert in

AD 732-766 . A scion of the royal family of Northumbria; educated from infancy in a monastery; ordained deacon at Rome; consecrated Bishop, AD 732.  The Venerable Bede, whose pupil he had been, addressed a letter of counsels to the new bishop, recommending, among other things, the erection of the northern kingdom into an ecclesiastical province.

The counsel was with the concurrence of the king carried into effect, and Egbert (AD 735 became (If we do not reckon Paulinus) the first Archbishop of York.

In AD 738 his brother Eadbert became king (he abdicated in AD 759, spent ten years in religious retirement in the monastery of York and died AD 768).  He was a man of great learning, and fully sustained the high reputation, which the schools of York had obtained throughout Europe.

He was a munificent patron of architecture, art and music.  His pupils afterwards taught in the schools of Italy, Germany, and France.  Several of his works have come down to us; the most valuable, a ‘Pontificale,’ ‘Succinetus Dialogus Ecclesiasticae Institutionis,’ ‘Excarpsum de Canonibus catholicum patrum, Vel Poenitentiale.’[Dictionary of the Church of England-Rev.E.L .Cutts, D.D.-1908]

[Our History is littered with names of countless individuals who though foreign born so loved their adopted country that they have fought many with their lives to protect the rights and liberties which many born Englishmen have taken for granted.

 Our early years has showed how some foreign kings put their responsibilities and loyalty to England before their foreign lands and the Christian Church in England was fortunate to have a foreign clergyman of stature and the greater number of barons who led the defence of our Liberties at Runnymede in 1215. and they with others over time rose to high positions in the State to guide our monarchs in their duty to their freedom loving peoples.

Over the centuries it has been the new entrant from the four corners of the world and their descendents today who still defend with their lives to uphold the
