I just heard this on TV, and although I can't find anything online about it, I thought I really did have to comment.

Apparently St. Paul's Cathedral in Central London has been denied a lottery grant as it is "too Christian" and so "not accessible" to the wider public (despite most of the country being Christian anyway (or so I am lead to believe)).

Meanwhile, the same lottery grant for which St. Paul's was turned down, was awarded to a Chinese community centre at St. Martin-in-the-Fields. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but St. Martin-in-the-Fields is also Christian, and a Chinese community centre doubly "not accessible", seeing as you have to be not only Christian, but Chinese, in order to get any real level of usage out of it.

I could go on, pointing out that Christianity is all about inclusion and not being exclusive to Christians and so on, nevermind the fact that St. Paul's Cathedral receives millions of visitors a year, from every faith, belief, denomination and nationality, but I really can't be bothered.

 

It's just stupid.
