Britain heading for a "massacre of carols" this Christmas

[Times Online] 13 Dec 2008--Traditional Christmas carols are being wrecked by politically correct vicars who are altering well-known words because they think their congregations will not understand them or will find them offensive.

Britain is heading for a “massacre of the carols” this Christmas by clergy bent on playing to the mood of modernity sweeping across the established Church of England.

Other English-speaking churches in Europe, the US and elsewhere are also affected, according to the satirical Christian website ShipofFools, which is running a competition to find the worst rewritten carol.
