The decision by Peter Black AM to invite the poet Patrick Jones to insult Jesus Christ in the National Assembly has been condemned by a Christian prayer and lobby group.<\/p>\n

Christian Voice described the event, due to be held on 11th December, as a disgrace to the Assembly itself. The Waterstone’s bookshop in Cardiff cancelled a reading of Jones’ poetry on Wednesday night. after a 24-hour campaign by Christian Voice.<\/p>\n

But Peter Black, who is the LibDem’s culture spokesman, has now invited Jones, a militant atheist, to read his poems, which call for an end to Christian worship, in Committee Room 24 of the Assembly at 12 noon on Thursday 11th December.<\/p>\n

On BBC Wales yesterday afternoon, after being repeatedly challenged by Stephen Green, Black eventually agreed to extend an invitation to Christians to attend.<\/p>\n

Stephen Green, National Director of Christian Voice, said today:<\/p>\n

‘This is a creepy event at which Jesus-hating AM’s can swoon over poems packed with hatred for Christianity and which speak of Mary Magdalene and the poet having sex with the Lord Jesus Christ. They will also hear Jones’ unfettered hatred of Christianity, which he has somehow managed to convince himself is indistinguishable from Islam.<\/p>\n

‘What they will not hear is Jones insult the prophet Mohammed. He dare not do that at all, let alone in the sexual way he insults Jesus Christ, whom he sees as a soft target.<\/p>\n

‘Christians in Wales must not take this lying down. We need to stand up for our Lord against this attack on His honour and on the Church itself by Peter Black. He has gone out of his way to show contempt for Christians in Wales . As he is the LibDem Culture Spokesman, that means insulting Jesus Christ is now official LibDem policy. The LibDems have thus become a political party Christians can no longer in conscience vote for or take any part in.’<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
