A passage from the Koran that denies one of the central tenets of the Christian faith was sung aloud at a cathedral service in Scotland.
The passage from Surah 19, which specifically denies that Jesus was the Son of God and says He should not be worshipped, was sung during a Eucharist service at St Mary’s Episcopal Cathedral in Glasgow to mark the feast of the Epiphany.
A video of the recital was posted on YouTube showing a girl singing the passage in a typical Islamic style. It narrates the Islamic account of the birth of Jesus, which includes the claim that Mary was “ashamed” after giving birth, and the infant Christ miraculously spoke from the cradle – something not found in Christian scripture.
She then concludes by singing verse 35, which states in translation: “It befitteth not the Majesty of Allah that He should take unto Himself a son,” and then verse 36, which has the infant Jesus saying: “And lo! Allah is my Lord and your Lord. So worship Him. That is the right path.”
The cathedral praised the reading in a Facebook post, calling it a “wonderful event”.
However, retired Anglican bishop Michael Nazir-Ali strongly condemned it, saying it was especially inappropriate for the feast of the Epiphany, which celebrates the revelation of Christ as the Son of God.

The Episcopalians won’t mind. They just all wanna get along, doncha know….
What else do they do in that cathedral, molest sheep?
Expected behavior from agnostic Anglicans.
They have abandoned faith...that is the sin punishable by death...Todt.
“especially inappropriate for the feast of the Epiphany, which celebrates the revelation of Christ as the Son of God.”
That’s just what I was thinking. Not a very intelligent bishop. If you think the Catholic Church has serious problems, the mainline Protestant churches are even worse.
Well,at least it is becoming incredibly obvious as to who is falling away.
Islam is a war plan.
We have quaffed deep from the chalice of stupid
Need to close the cathedral, fire all staff, defrock its priests, the re-sanctify it and start over.
Blasphemy!
“Well,at least it is becoming incredibly obvious as to who is falling away.”
Right you are.
The wheat is being separated from the chaff and, as you point out, there is little question which side people are on.
Abomination!
Suicidal insanity.
It’s an Anglican cathedral. These days Anglican/Episcopal is religion for those who don’t believe in God. So they’re simply, in there own eyes, buying peace by leasing out symbols which for them are simply relics of a superstitious past.
I don’t think they’re in the Anglican communion. Any Anglicans care to enlighten?
This is nuts. What are they thinking?!
They should go be Unitarians.
