In a harsh message this week, Lord Carey -- the former Archbishop of Canterbury -- said the Church of England needs to be "tougher" and more outspoken in preserving its beliefs, according to the Virtue Online website.
Lord Carey's message came as he said migrants wanting to come to the United Kingdom should respect the country's Christian heritage and warned the country could be in "deep trouble" if immigration and population keeps growing at the current rate.
His attack was seen by some as a criticism of his successor as the head of the Anglican Church, Dr. Rowan Williams. Dr. Williams sparked anger in 2008 when he said it "seems inevitable" that some parts of the Islamic sharia law would be enshrined in United Kingdom law.
Lord Carey concluded, "I think we need a tougher Church. We Christians are very often so soft that we allow other people to walk over us and we are not as tough in what we want, in expressing our beliefs, because we do not want to upset other people."
