Can Christians come forward with their views

Christianity, as practised in the majority of churches in the UK is not radical enough.
It should be radical in that it welcomes everyone in a non-judgemental way, whoever they are, wherever they come from, whatever their background.
It should be radical in that it cares for people, within the curch and outside, who are "on the edge." It should help with food, shelter, clothing, friendship. The church should visit the sick, those in prison, those that live by themselves, the elderly and others that get pushed to one side in life.
It should be radical in dealing with moral matters within the church according to Scripture (1 Corinthians 5). Those that profess to be Christians, especially leaders, who live immoral lives should be expelled from the church until they show clear signs of repentance.
It should be radical in responding to attacks. It should respond with love, mercy and forgiveness, never repaying wrong with wrong.
It should be radical in looking for justice for people, no matter who they are.

I don't know what you mean by radicalisation, but Christianity will always have a place in society, however small, as long as there are Christians. Christianity isnt about going to the local Anglican at Christmas and Easter or forcing kids at school to say prayers so if those aspects are loosing their place in society, big deal.

Define christianity and define society!
In England, we have long enjoyed a gentle, pacific form of christianity that although having a pleasant aesthetic, has at times hardly seemed like religion at all. Anglicanism, it has been said, has kept the genie of religious fanaticism safely in the bottle for centuries. This perhaps has left us ill equipped as a culture to cope with the radical religious zeal of extremists of all faiths that seem to be encroaching at the present time.

Christianity used to be considered radical once upon a time. Maybe if they could come up with some new ideas it could be radical once again. I like the fact that catholic/Christian groups seem to be at the forefront of the Ethical consumerism campaign.
