Church & Politics

The Church of England and the Methodist Church of Great Britain prevent their members from joining the right-wing British National Party. The BNP allows only whites into its ranks and seeks to defend "Britain's Christian culture." Although BNP members can enter these churches, they are not welcome to become full members. Now, this sounds like a foul political party, but if religions want separation of church and state, they have to keep their noses out of the government. It's not the role of the church to tell its members how to vote.
