“I think there's an awful lot of noise about the Church being persecuted but there is a more real issue that the conventional churches face - that the people who are really driving their revival and success believe in an old-time religion which, in my view, is incompatible with a modern, multi-ethnic, multicultural society.” PeopleThinkingBelieveRealFacesChurchViewsIssuesModernDrivingNoiseAwfulConventionalRevivalPersecutedMulticulturalOld TimeMulticultural Society Author:Trevor Phillips
