Across The Pond, Dawn Gilkes, Wife Of Vicar Don ...
Contributed by Sermon Central on Dec 16, 2001 (message contributor)
Across the pond, Dawn Gilkes, wife of vicar Don Gilkes, asked
children at her church to pray that Osama bin Laden and other
Muslims would convert to Christianity. One parent
complained, "In the current climate to voice sentiments like
this, particularly in front of children who are as young as
five, is entirely unacceptable.... To have them subjected to
this... is outrageous as far as I am concerned." The unnamed
parent says the Anglican bishop of Blackburn will express his
disapproval for the comments.
