[edit] wtf @ quote!
How does this make sense...
"Bishop Nazir-Ali is generally in the evangelical wing of the Anglican Church, describing himself as "evangelical and catholic." "
Surely is should be "evangelical and anglican" also where's the citation for this? Marmaladebadger (talk) 13:08, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
- Er...no. It makes perfect sense. the Anglican Church is usually perceived as having two wings, the Evangelical wing which sees itself as the heir of the Reformation, and the Catholic wing who regard the Reformation as an unfortunate political accident and largely irrelevant. Bishop Nazir-Ali feels that he can identify with both.
I stand corrected. Perhaps this should be made clearer on the page? Marmaladebadger (talk) 15:09, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Identifying as Christian at the age of 15?
Is there a citation for this? I ask, because it is highly unlikely that in Pakistan someone born in into a Christian family would only identify themselves as Christian so late. It is a culture where everyone is very aware of their religious identity. I think, that without a citation from Bishop Nazir-Ali's own writings, this statement should be dropped.

- What you say sounds likely to me. Is it possible that by "identifying as a Christian at age 15" this fact is merely chronicling the first recorded instance of Nazir-Ali openly identifying himself as a Christian, regardless of when he was actually baptised/confirmed or some other private landmark? --Saforrest 06:18, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

- Re: His Lordship's "identifying as Christian" at age 15, so say the various biographical items on the Anglican Communion and the Diocese of Rochester websites, together with background information in various books and articles he has written. His mother, I believe, remained Muslim. In any case, it is not at all contentious; the issue arose when he was shortlisted for Archbishop of Canterbury and various naysayers in the Church of England were trying to make a thing of his having at one stage dallied with Roman Catholicism before he settled on the Church of Pakistan as his denomination of choice. Yes of course Pakistanis are very denominational: it IS, after all, strictly speaking a capital offence for a Muslim to apostise. But things would have been somewhat more easygoing as to Sharia in the 1950s and Nazir-Ali senior would have chosen to become Christian before 1947.Masalai 07:56, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] ethnicity?
just curious but what ethnic group of pakistan is his ancestry? is his punjabi? is he mohajir?
- He is Punjabi but that is a matter of personal knowledge among members of the congregation of Karachi Cathedral. There do not appear to be any published materials that state this. Masalai 11:43, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Canadian-originated concept of multiculturalism,?
Under Opinions it says "Canadian-originated concept of multiculturalism,"
I don't think multiculturalism is actually a 'canada-originated concept'. Maybe Nazir-Ali is claiming it to be so, or is stating that the type of multiculturalism practiced in the UK is Canadian in origin? Either way that should be made clear. 86.27.191.157 (talk)Posted on 6:16 PM, UK (GMT) Time, January 5, 2008.
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Michael Nazir-Ali - Bradford.jpg
Image:Michael Nazir-Ali - Bradford.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
