Chaplain to the London Stock Exchange

[edit]

The title "Chaplain to the London Stock Exchange" seems to be used by the subject of this article out of vanity. In 2008 the Director of Corporate Communications of the London Stock Exchange stated "We were somewhat taken aback to read of Peter Mullen's comments in yesterday's Evening Standard and elsewhere. We were also concerned to see him being associated with the London Stock Exchange. There are historic links between St Michael, Cornhill and "The Stock Exchange" of old, reflecting the fact that the Exchange was previously housed within that parish. However, there is no formal connection between the London Stock Exchange and Peter Mullen, and our company does not even have a chaplain. We will be asking the Diocese of London that Peter Mullen desist from implying a connection with our organisation when none exists."

Based on that, I am inclined to remove the reference to the LSE. If that is removed, there doesn't seem to be any notability attached to the subject beyond a talent for self-promotion (not sure that three articles published in the WSJ 11 years ago count).

Face

[edit]

He appears to have undergone some kind of reconstructive surgery on his face: http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard/article-23564269-chaplain-gay-men-should-have-sodomy-warning-tattoos.do Does anybody have any other information on this? Matthau (talk) 14:35, 20 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Point of view issues

[edit]

The bit about Mullen's views on crime being at odds with Christian "philosophy" (this should be, what, ethics, theology instead?) expresses the point of view of the Wiki author. If a credible source has asserted that Mullen's views are in some way anti-Christian, quote that source specifically.

Also: as a general comment, the tone of the other contributions on this talk page suggests that some brutal editing has been done by people hostile to Mullen.

Self-referential

[edit]

The majority of the citations here were written by Rev'd Mullen himself. Many appear to have been added by editors who support or disagree with his views on this or that. I propose we only use third-party sources in this bio, as those statements and actions were deemed independently newsworthy. It's better to let others determine what is notable.

Hello, there is clearly a bias towards the 'gay rights' agenda here. This rights agenda is funded by satan in the name of destroying Christianity in England. Imagine if Hitler had an account and started writing articles about Jews. That's exactly what's happening here. Goodwin's law is a false law, created by the gay rights satanists. Dear Wikipedians, convert to Christianity or burn in hell for all eternity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ChristianRainbow123 (talkcontribs) 07:22, 30 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
