News, Traditional carols are 'nonsense', says bishop. (Jesus, pagans, faith)

[JD59]

Some traditional carols are “nonsense” and have turned Jesus into a Father Christmas figure, according to a leading bishop.

Away in a Manger cannot be sung “without embarrassment”, Once in Roy al David’s City is “Victorian behaviour control”; and O Come, All Ye Faithful is misleading, said the Bishop of Croydon, the Rt Rev Nick Baines.

The bishop said it was not the “faithful” who went to see the baby Jesus and his parents but shepherds, who are the “great unwashed” and the wise men, who were “not good Jews, but were pagans, men who were outside the covenant people of God”.
