Religious Officials Say No to Casino Support
Religious leaders in the UK are having
to make statements clearing up the speculation surrounding
the church's stance on casino construction in the Millennium Dome.
Due to an extremely unfortunate miscommunication, the AEG group
had released a statement speaking to the chaplaincy support of the
proposed construction.
Church leaders make it clear that it
would not be in their best interest to encourage the construction
of gambling facilities in the area. The Chaplaincy has released a
statement saying that they are happy with the amount of employment
that will be provided by the Millennium Dome however, all the of
the occupations in the dome do not concur with the interest of the
church.
The Chaplaincy has an issue with the
casino as it completely contradicts sacred writings concerning the
subject. This is not to say that the citizens in Great Britain are
as opposed to the casino construction. Various Christians and Jews
in the area are split in their opinions concerning the casino.
AEG officials claim they are not aware
of how the miscommunication occurred. Religious support would have
been extremely beneficial for the casino, because its construction
comes in the wake of a great deal of casino expansion in Great
Britain.
Casinos in Cardiff and Blackpool are
being met with resistance among traditionalists in their
respective communities. The Millennium Dome , although being built
in a much less suburban area, has been met with an equal amount of
resistance. There is a certain ambience that is created with
casinos that every member of the community is not ready to take
on.
Rev. Terry of the Chaplaincy expressed
his grievance concerning the untrue claims of the AEG group. The
problem, according to the Rev, is that the group did not consult
anyone prior to releasing the statements.
According to the reports the
Chaplaincy was to be a religious consultant for the construction
workers on the dome and also for families relocating for work
provided by the casinos. The chaplaincy does not wish to breed any
bad blood among the many employees, but they can not simply permit
religious support for a project that promotes gambling.
