Apparently the Bishop of Bath and Wells, the Rt Rev Peter Price, has condemned Christians Cupcake Christians avoid all that is difficult and challengingwho ignore the difficult and challenging aspects of Christianity. Dubbing them ‘cupcake’ Christians he describes them as:

… those who have their own individual Jesus neatly packaged, separated from all others, covered in sweetness, avoiding all that is difficult and challenging. And, with the cherry of personal salvation on the top.”

Speaking at the launch event of Christian Aid week in the UK, he went on to quote Amos saying:

‘… to let justice roll down like waters and righteousness like an ever flowing stream.’ True Christian aid today calls for a radical change of heart.

“It demands that we ‘cupcake Christians’ remove the wrappers that separate us from one another; pick away at the sticky sweetness that prevents us from radical loving; and become the people of God united to the poor, denouncing from their place the injustice against them.”
