Free parking church row UK 5/01/2009
Plans to grant Christians free parking could be blocked - as councillors fear causing offence to other religions.
Tewkesbury is considering scrapping charges for churchgoers on Sunday mornings.
But a majority of the Gloucestershire town's review team feel it could be viewed as unfair to other faiths.
Lib Dem Mike Collins said he was worried about how the scheme would be perceived in "the modern PC world".
In-favour Conservative Mayor Brian Calway replied: "It's not discriminatory.
"It's a Christian town. We haven't even got any mosques or synagogues here."

If there are no Moslems or Jews why do they need to discriminate by saying Christians Only.
Just because it says Christians only means it is discriminatory.
Christ is Jewish hence he cannot park there so will he by pass the Church?

I thought Jesus only attended the synagogue to throw the money lenders out.

Jesus being the founder of the church can and probably does go to church every day, there are a multitude of services held by the church thatarent on a Sunday.

Wasn't St Peter the founder of the church?

The founder was Christ who used Peter to be the rock on whom the church was built.

Just call it a day of rest and leave religion out of it. No fees on Sunday plain and simple. We never had to put money in parking meters on Sunday, never thought why.

Is there such a person called Jesus or Christ what ever you call him. It seems like he is a make believe person just like santa. It just seems as though people have to believe in someone so they believe in Jesus just like kids believe in santa, and neither of them exist or ever have existed.

Jules I understand Jesus has been found as an actual person in the Roman records and that he was Executed by them. As was there a John the Baptist as well.
