A Church in England sparked outrage earlier this week when it sang a 'woke' version of a Christmas carol that featured language about the 'queer and questioning.'
Anis pushing back after a church choir sang a"woke" version of a popular Christmas carol injecting LGBT and"inclusive" language into the song.
"God rest you queer and questioning, your anxious hearts be still," a line of the amended U.S. version of"God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen" sung by the All Saints with Holy Trinity choir in Loughborough, England, said,, with another saying,"God rest you also, women, who by men have been erased. Through history ignored and scorned, defiled and displaced."
Cardinal Vincent Nichols, the Catholic Archbishop of Westminster, took issue with the amended version of the song and the injection of progressive wording. "I think what Christmas does, and many other moments, it tells us the importance of ritual," Nichols told Times Radio."Ritual helps us to step outside of our own little bubble and connect with something we have received, inherited and that we hope to pass on."Those values are the continuation of musical repertoire, of the ability to sing together, of looking at the rituals that have been fashioned over centuries.
