The false god of diversity

ON September 11 the Mayor of London Sadiq Khan tweeted, ‘Far too many Londoners don’t see themselves or their histories reflected in our public spaces.’ On September 16 he further stated, ‘I’m looking for Londoners to join my new commission reviewing diversity and representation across our city’s public spaces, from our statues and memorials to our street and building names.’

The Mayor of London’s desire to revise the capital’s cultural heritage in order to reflect a multicultural worldview needs to be challenged. Biblical Christianity does not demand the destruction of national identities nor the rewriting of history, and nor does it teach that multicultural societies are intrinsically better than those more aligned to a single culture.

The Christian loves his neighbour whoever he is and wherever he comes from, but that does not negate the principle that people who have chosen to come and live in the United Kingdom from other lands and cultures should surely regard it as preferable to seek integration with the existing identity of the nation, rather than to pursue a separate course.

The quality of life in Britain, which is a primary motivating factor in people from other lands moving to the UK, is a function of the nation’s history and culture. Britain’s quality of life has not just suddenly and randomly happened; it has taken countless generations to build it up, and there are fundamental principles undergirding it.

Britain is what it is precisely because of its close historical identification with Biblical Christianity, even to the extent of our present head of state having taken a Bible in her hand at her coronation and promising to uphold its teachings. The creed of multiculturalism, in contrast, demands that Christianity must not be regarded as producing a more beneficial effect upon society than any other religions or cultural identities might achieve.
