Canada: Mosque Operating Inside Anglican Church

“They’re effectively operating as a church within a church.”

No, they’re operating a mosque within a church.

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?

A mosque is not the same thing as a church. In a mosque, those who believe that Jesus is the Son of God are said to be cursed by Allah (cf. Qur’an 9:30), and the obligation is preached to make war against and subjugate such people (Qur’an 9:29).

One of the local Muslim leaders called Wilson, rector at St. John the Evangelist, to see if they could rent out space in the basement of his Anglican church.

After consulting with his parish council and bishop, Wilson obliged. 

“In the same way the communities grew together [on the show], that’s literally what happened here,” Wilson says. “They’re effectively operating as a church within a church.”…
