A Church of England church in London is being criticized for holding a service to mark the birthday of the Islamic prophet Muhammad and "looking forward to the birthday of Jesus." The service included an Islamic prayer and the cutting of a birthday cake.
The All Saints Church in Kingston-upon-Thames held the service, "Milad, Advent and Christmas Celebration," on Sunday, according to The Christian Institute. Milad is the Islamic festival commemorating the birthday of Muhammad.
The service had been billed as an event "marking the birthday of Muhammad and looking forward to the birthday of Jesus."

Christian blogger Archbishop Cranmer slammed the church for "glorifying" the prophet, saying it "put the flags out for both, rejoicing in both, eulogizing both, solemnizing both, glorifying both, honoring both."

"Muhammad gets his prophethood, while Jesus gets neither His prophethood nor His priesthood; neither His kingship nor His messiahship," the blogger wrote. "It's the exalted prophet Muhammad along with plain old Jesus, because to have added any of His claims to divinity would, of course, have alienated many Muslims (if they hadn't already been alienated by the haram celebration), which wouldn't have been very interfaith or sensitively missional, would it?"
