A vicar has been accused of 'crazy political correctness' after the three Wise Men were omitted from a children's Christmas performance.
Church of England Canon Freda Evans asked parents to dress their children as 'wise people' instead of the men who came bearing gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh for Jesus.
Anita Neale, 49, who has a ten-year-old daughter, said: 'You can't change something that's hundreds of years old. They are being silly. Where do you stop?'

And Debbie Makinde, 41, who has three children at the school, said: 'To be honest, I think it's absolutely stupid. The Wise Men were men.
'I pray we are not heading for gender-neutral Father Christmas and Jesus. It's getting crazy.'
A wave of complaints came in after a poster for the Christmas Eve service went up in St Barnabas Church in Birmingham, and on its website.
The poster read: 'Children are invited to come along to the service dressed as angels, shepherds, sheep or wise people!'

Canon Freda said in a statement: 'They are small children and they determine who they want to be — whether they are boys or girls they make the choice.
'In fact the early biblical word would have been 'Magi' which means followers of Zoroaster, so it is later translations which used the wording.'
Canon Freda Evans was ordained 20 years ago following a 'multi-faceted background working in politics', according to the church website.
Church of England Birmingham said she would not be making any further comment.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
