Here are some quotes from Christians about the Manchester Super Casino. They are all taken entirely out of context:

Sanctus1 Blog:
“Super, we get a new massive casino in a part of town where the main recreational opportunities already involve spending money that many don’t have – Gala and Mecca hang your heads.”

Church Action on Poverty:
“Likely to create ‘crippling debts and undermine efforts to tackle child poverty in the city’.”

The Evangelical Alliance:
“Manchester is not well enough equipped to deal with the social impacts of problem gambling.”

Ruth Gledhill:
“I reckon that the problem is tax revenue. So many people are stopping smoking, the Government needs to foster other addictions in Britain to keep the cash coming in.”

Sarah from the Wibsite: (30th January entry)
“I don’t know if I’m just missing the point but I find it difficult to see this as the fantastic news it is reported as.”

Dr Rowan Williams:
“I’m very concerned that we can’t think of better ways of regenerating deprived areas than by developing institutions which may well contribute to the material and spiritual deprivation of the area in the long term.”

Bishop Mike of Bristol:
“To lure us into thinking we can be winners when most of us will be losers will break human spirits. To offer people no hope is bad enough; to offer them false hope is utterly cruel.”

The Bishop of Blackburn:
“I would always be keen to back any further application for a casino if similar proposals arose.”
